New World Center

About New World Center

Designed by Frank Gehry, the New World Center stands as a distinctive architectural landmark in Miami Beach, serving as the campus for the New World Symphony. This institution is a fellowship program for orchestral musicians, renowned for its innovative approach to classical music education and performance. The center features technologically advanced performance spaces, rehearsal rooms, and a recording studio, all dedicated to fostering the next generation of classical music talent. Beyond its role as an educational facility, the New World Center is known for its WALLCAST® concerts. These popular outdoor events project live classical performances onto the building's 7,000-square-foot exterior wall, allowing audiences to enjoy concerts in the adjacent SoundScape Park. This unique offering brings high-quality classical music to a broader public, often in a relaxed, open-air setting. The building's design and integrated technology contribute to its reputation as a modern cultural hub. Visitors can explore the grounds, appreciate the architecture, and inquire about public access to the performance spaces or educational programs. WALLCAST® concerts are typically held during specific seasons and are a highlight for many visitors and locals. The center is open to the public during specified weekday hours, providing an opportunity to experience its unique atmosphere.
