CORAL GABLES, Fla. (September 26, 2014) — UHealth at Coral Cables, a new comprehensive outpatient location of UHealth – University of Miami Health System now under construction on UM’s Coral Gables campus and scheduled to open in summer 2016, is the first presenting sponsor for the Frost School of Music’s renowned Festival Miami, now in its 31st season.
Running this year from October 10 through November 8, Festival Miami presented by UHealth Coral Gables will present 35 concerts, master classes, and lectures grouped into four themes: Great Performances, Music of the Americas, Jazz and Beyond, and Creative American Music. The festival will bring hundreds of guest, faculty, and student artists together to perform and interact with more than 12,000 music patrons.
Festival Miami is widely considered Florida’s premier live music festival by artists and audiences alike. Events are generally held in the recently renovated 600-seat Maurice Gusman Concert Hall, 1314 Miller Drive, on the Coral Gables campus. The festival provides a comfortable, affordable, and acoustically excellent opportunity for area residents and visitors to enjoy great music.
UHealth at Coral Gables will be located at the corner of Ponce de Leon Boulevard and Dickinson Drive on the Coral Gables campus. The state-of-the-art facility will provide convenient access to UHealth’s expertise in specialty care—including its acclaimed Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center and Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. Services will include urgent care, outpatient surgery, physical therapy, sports medicine, diagnostic imaging, and more. There will also be a dedicated 1,000-space parking garage, valet parking, and on-site café.
“We sincerely thank UHealth at Coral Gables for stepping up as the presenting sponsor of Festival Miami,” said Frost School of Music Dean Shelton G. Berg. “Their sponsorship demonstrates an extraordinary commitment to the overall well-being of the residents in our community. Hearing and enjoying live music is proven to have countless physical and mental health benefits. It enriches and enlivens the world we share.”
Berg said the UHealth at Coral Gables sponsorship “ensures that, in addition to enjoying greater access to world-class health care when the new UHealth facility opens, residents of Coral Gables and surrounding communities will continue to enjoy an incredible array of uplifting concerts by world-class artists.”
