Orchestra Miami

Orchestra Miami is a distinguished symphonic organization based in South Florida, dedicated to delivering high-quality musical performances that are accessible to all demographics within the community. The ensemble was founded in 2006 by Elaine Rinaldi, who serves as the Artistic Director. The mission of Orchestra Miami is to foster community bonds and provide educational experiences through music, offering symphonic concerts at affordable prices to the diverse population of South Florida. Orchestra Miami has been a cultural mainstay in the region for over 16 years, performing in a variety of venues ranging from the prestigious Adrienne Arsht Center to local art galleries and public parks. The orchestra is renowned for its signature programs, which include the annual "Beethoven on the Beach" free outdoor concerts that take place in Miami Beach, Pinecrest, and Sunny Isles Beach. These events are part of the organization's commitment to making classical music accessible to the wider public. Another notable initiative by Orchestra Miami is the "Discover Miami Through Music" series, which presents concerts at historic landmarks throughout Miami-Dade County. Additionally, the "Family Fun Concert Series" at Pinecrest Gardens is designed to engage children and families, cultivating a love for classical music and integrating it into their lives as both a source of enjoyment and a learning tool. Comprising a select ensemble of professional musicians who are all permanent residents of South Florida, Orchestra Miami stands out for its exceptional artistic quality and experience. The orchestra's dedication to community outreach is evident in its collaborations with Miami-Dade County Public Schools, which have introduced over 30,000 school-aged children to classical music at no cost.
