The Downtown Music Series is designed to offer young musicians studying at UM’s Frost School of Music the opportunity to showcase their talents in a setting easily accessible to businesspeople, residents, and visitors. The musicians go through a rigorous selection process auditioning for faculty who then select the top six groups to perform. The final group of musicians for the series typically represents a wide variety of musical genres which makes each concert a unique and wonderful experience for all.

This concert series is brought to you by the Arthur B. McBride Family Foundation, the Dosal Family Foundation, the City of Coral Gables, and the Coral Gables Welcome Center.
