Founded in 2006 by Artistic Director Elaine Rinaldi, Orchestra Miami is celebrating 19 years as one of Miami’s most unique professional performing ensembles. Orchestra Miami’s mission is to connect communities and educate through music by bringing affordable, accessible, high-quality classical music experiences to our audience. Orchestra Miami’s original and highly successful programs include the beloved annual free Beethoven on the Beach concert series, the free annual New Year’s Eve concert in Miami Beach which yields a very large (4,000+), highly appreciative audience, the Pinecrest Gardens Family Fun series which introduces children and their families to the arts, and the fascinating and informative Discover Miami Through Music concerts. Orchestra Miami’s high-quality programs reach literally thousands of people each year, and to date we have introduced over 35,000 Miami-Dade County Public School students to classical music for free through our Carnegie Hall Link Up program and other education initiatives. Orchestra Miami consists of a select group of professional musicians, all permanent residents of South Florida, whose collective body is unparalleled in terms of excellence and experience. Led by Founder and Artistic Director Elaine Rinaldi, Orchestra Miami is known for its high-quality artistry, imaginative programs that captivate new audiences, and its performances at a wide variety of diverse venues across Miami Dade County. Orchestra Miami is your orchestra, Miami!
