Great Performances is dedicated to bringing world-class music and performance to Florida and beyond. We curate concerts, recitals, and cultural events that celebrate artistry at the highest level while creating meaningful opportunities for emerging talent.

More than a presenter, we are a community builder. We believe the arts are a bridge — between generations, cultures, and neighbors — reminding us what it means to feel and be human, together with our community.

The Great Performances’ platform was born from a deep connection focused on young artists who are searching for a venue to share their voices and music. They long for more than just a place to perform — they seek an environment where their creativity is honored, their passion is embraced, and their sound is heard. By opening these spaces, we create more than performances; we create moments of belonging, inspiration, and growth, where artists and audiences come together to celebrate the power of music and expression in the community.

We are deeply grateful for the support of Great Performances Of Florida LLC along with our Maestro Circle, whose generosity makes this vision possible.

The Maestro Circle:

The University of Miami’s Frost School of Music has long been a beacon of excellence in music education, cultivating some of the finest young musicians and composers in the country. Their dedication to training and inspiring the next generation of artists aligns beautifully with our mission to provide a venue — and a future — for emerging voices. With their support, we are able to connect education, artistry, and community in powerful ways. @…

The Vizcaya Museum and Gardens stands as a jewel of Miami’s cultural landscape, a place where history and creativity meet. Its breathtaking architecture and serene gardens have long inspired artists of every discipline. Through their participation we highlight the need to support their fundraising and membership goals. Vizcaya helps us preserve the spirit of artistic expression while grounding it in a sense of place, heritage, and beauty by inviting their James Deering and Board to all the Great Performances experiences.

Northern Trust, the distinguished financial advisor, with a long history of service and integrity, has been a steadfast champion of the arts. Their commitment goes beyond financial stewardship — it reflects a true belief in fostering creativity, empowering youth, and ensuring that music and art remain accessible to all. With their support, we are able to sustain the opportunities that young performers so deeply deserve.

We also celebrate our cherished Crescendo Circle, whose dedication brings additional strength to our mission.

Vinya Key Biscayne embodies the spirit of gathering, offering not only fine wines and food but also a sense of community and connection that mirrors the bonds we build through music.

Fresh Market enriches everyday life by bringing quality, care, and vibrancy to the table — values that resonate with the artistry we foster.

Jet Aviation, based in Zurich, Switzerland it is commitment to Florida’s excellence and aviation services now in Opa Locka, it reflects the same pursuit of mastery and precision that drives young performers to soar.

Then our special Finally, we celebrate our Symphony of Support — a collective of patrons, partners, and friends who, like the instruments of an orchestra, each bring their unique voice to create something greater than themselves. Their combined energy, generosity, and belief in young artists allow us to continue building a space where music and creativity can flourish.

Together, our Maestro Circle, Crescendo Circle and Symphony of Support groups create a foundation that allows voices and music to rise, ensuring that every performance is not just heard, but felt.

At Great Performances, community is at the center of everything we do. What we create is not just a concert — it is a meeting where something magical happens. It might be a connection to a sound that stirs the soul, or a conversation with a neighbor that lingers long after the music fades. Each gathering becomes a space where barriers dissolve, and people come together in ways that are both unexpected and deeply meaningful.

Here, art is not separate from community — it is the bridge that binds us. Whether through music, dialogue, or shared silence, Great Performances is about creating experiences that remind us we belong to something greater: a living, breathing community inspired by creativity, expression, and one another.

Tradition lies at the core of Great Performances. In a world moving faster each day — where music is often reduced to algorithms, playlists, and fleeting trends — we hold firmly to the enduring value of live artistry. Our focus is on music of quality: rooted in the richness of classical traditions, infused with the soul of jazz, and presented in ways that resonate across generations.

We honor the rare and beautiful experience of gathering in historic, classical venues where sound fills the space with warmth, elegance, and presence. Picture the timelessness of live music with a cocktail jacket required — a setting where refinement, artistry, and community meet. These are moments that connect us not just to music, but to memory — recalling times when communities gathered to listen, reflect, and celebrate together.

By preserving this tradition, we offer something increasingly scarce: music that is both timeless and alive, carrying forward the artistry of the past while inspiring the voices of the future.
