FESTIVAL MIAMI CELEBRATES 22nd ANNIVERSARY SEASON

VISITING ARTISTS CONDUCT MASTER CLASSES AT UM

 

Coral Gables, FL – When is a festival more than a festival? When it’s Festival Miami!  Produced by the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music, Festival Miami has entertained audiences with a dynamic and diverse range of musical performances for the 22 seasons. 

But beyond these popular performances, which present extraordinary guest artists together with UM music students and faculty, the Festival provides important educational enrichment.  Visiting artists conduct special master classes with UM music students and faculty, and these unique learning opportunities are open to the public. 

As part of Festival Miami’s 22ND Celebration, which runs from September 24 to October 29, 2005, William Hipp, Dean of the School of Music extends an invitation to all who are interested in attending any of these special master classes.
