2016 SEASON JULY 31, 2016 Sponsored by: miamimusicfestival.com FROM THE FOUNDER AND ARTISTIC DIRECTOR Dear Esteemed Patrons, We are honored to have you join us for the third season of the Miami Music Festival. We have much to be proud of as our festival expands to eight weeks of classical music programming this summer! Our 2016 season features the debut of the unprecedented Miami Wagner Institute, an orchestral tribute to celebrated violinist and South Florida neighbor Ida Haendel, a growing bill of full-scale opera productions, and the welcome of many renowned guest artists and faculty members. We are so glad you Michael Rossi are here to join us for a summer of music-making. Founder and Artistic Director Miami Music Festival Our Opera Institute is delighted to welcome in- demand Wagnerian soprano Christine Goerke to the faculty as she pioneers the visionary new Wagner Institute. Culminating in a return to the New World Center for the annual MMF gala concert, select singers from the Institute will perform in showcase alongside Ms. Goerke and renowned bass-baritone Alan Held. The Opera Institute also increases to six full-scale mainstage productions, and reprises its popular Family Opera Series with activities designed to introduce children to the world of classical music. Our revamped Studio Program will also undertake two lesser-known chamber operas, Giordano’s Mese Mariano and Offenbach’s La chanson de Fortunio, marking two South Florida premieres. MMF also welcomes a new team of artistic giants to the faculty including international piano soloists, revered conductors, coaches, guest artists, and pedagogues representing the world’s leading institutions of classical music. We resume our Career Institute providing a combination of entrepreneurship seminars and one-on-one career training helping students take charge of their personal artistic development in an ever-evolving economy. This past year, we received an overwhelming number of applicants and heard countless auditions from students the world over. This season’s participants were selected from over 1,500 auditions, with students from the US, Taiwan, South Korea, Italy, China, Australia, Singapore, Ukraine, Thailand, Spain, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Turkey; we couldn’t be more astounded by this year’s level of talent. We thank you for attending the 2016 Miami Music Festival and encourage your continued support of Miami’s classical music community. We are proud of Miami Music Festival’s developments as it grows into an established fixture of South Florida’s cultural landscape. We hope you will explore and enjoy this season’s offerings!
