2011 | Best Leisure Activity Other Than Clubs or Movies

Whatever is playing on the outdoor screen of New World Center's 2.5-acre public park, Soundscape, is probably better than the romantic comedy you're thinking about watching at Regal. It's also cheaper -- as in free -- and easier to sneak in a bottle of wine. In fact, bring a whole picnic basket and really impress your date. Maybe even surprise that special person with tickets for a postdinner orchestral performance by the New World Symphony inside the Frank Gehry-designed... More »
2004 | BEST SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRA

Ostensibly a "training" orchestra, an opportunity for its young members to hone their postconservatory chops before moving on to "proper" outfits, the NWS outdoes its mandate as audiences regularly pack performances at Miami Beach's Lincoln Theatre. These music lovers will attest to this group's ability to outshine more venerable orchestras coast-to-coast. Whether it's the passion of youth, the hunger of musicians with something to prove, or the guiding energy of music director Michael... More »
2003 | BEST SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRA

What's the matter with kids today Nothing. At least not with the ones loitering outside the Lincoln Theater during a New World Symphony intermission. The NWS's artistic director, Michael Tilson Thomas, calls classical music "a rare and wonderful thing." The same can be said of the NWS, the baby of all symphonic orchestras. The NWS, which recently celebrated its fifteenth-anniversary concert, is also known as America's Orchestral Academy. Its 85 members are recent graduates of the nation's... More »
2000 | Best Star Wars Tribute

While the rest of the free world consumed itself in the anticipatory hype over Star Wars: Episode One -- The Phantom Menace late last spring, the precocious members of the New World Symphony staged a more twisted salute to the glories of Chewbacca: an opera. Transposing sections of John Williams's original Star Wars score on to their own chosen instrumentation, the ever-so-proper stage of the Lincoln Theatre suddenly became host to a wide range of oboe-playing aliens and a very imposing...

Verses and Violins

By Ciara LaVelle | Thu, April 19, 2012

Some say poetry is a dead art form. Others say the same about classical music. On Friday, New World Symphony and O, Miami will prove them all wrong with a show combining the musical talents of our city's symphony and the verses of visiting poet Ma... More »

Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina

By Gabriela Garcia | Thu, March 01, 2012

At press time, thanks to Jeremy Lin-sanity, the New York Knicks are outselling Madonna in ticket sales. But here in the 305, possibly in an effort to prove just how little of a damn we give, Wednesday has been designated an unofficial day for cele... More »
Electro Goes Orchestral

By Victor Gonzalez | Thu, January 19, 2012

Contemporary metal, R&B, and country have all done it: blending old and new music via symphonic rearrangements and backings. S&M, Metallica’s 1999 live album with the San Francisco Symphony, went platinum five times. John Legend teamed up with the... More »
