Miami Music Festival

Since its founding in 2013, the Miami Music Festival (MMF) has transformed Miami Beach into a premier summer destination for emerging classical musicians from around the world. Each year, more than 175 young artists from over 25 countries come to study opera, orchestra, conducting, and piano with world-class faculty, performing in fully staged operas, symphonic concerts, chamber recitals, and masterclasses. With 30+ public events each year and 30,000 audience members engaged annually, MMF has become one of the nation’s fastest-growing and most dynamic classical music festivals—hailed as a catalyst for rebranding Miami as a major arts city. Your generosity makes this training accessible by helping fund scholarships, production costs, and community programming that keep high-level classical music thriving in Miami Beach.

MMF is also a pioneer in arts innovation. In 2022, the Festival presented the world’s first fully immersive opera production using state-of-the-art projection mapping, followed by a series of groundbreaking audiovisual concerts. Your contributions directly sustain major public arts experiences, both indoor immersive performances and large-scale outdoor installations—most notably the beloved Miami Beach Holiday Festival of Lights, which transforms Ocean Drive into a winter wonderland of glowing artistry. This community celebration brings families together with live concerts, dazzling projections, falling “snow,” visits from Santa, the Grinch, and festive characters, and a cheerful holiday village. These experiences are free to the community.

At its heart, MMF is committed to uplifting the next generation of musicians while creating unforgettable arts experiences for the entire community. Your gift to MMF strengthens Miami's cultural landscape and ensures that children, families, and visitors can access world-class music and immersive arts experiences. When you donate to MMF, you invest in young artists, in cutting-edge cultural innovation, and in the vibrant, creative future of Miami.
