Successful Launch of CMS Miami
CMS Miami was a remarkable success in its inaugural year! From January 8-10, we launched CMS Miami with a private patron concert, two acclaimed performances at the Colony Theatre, and welcomed local college musicians to a master class and open rehearsal with our friends at New World School of the Arts. Artists including Co-Artistic Directors David Finckel (cello) and Wu Han (piano) were joined by Paul Haung (violin), Matthew Lipman (viola), and Clive Greensmith (cello) to present chamber music treasures to enthusiastic Miami audiences. We would like to thank all the terrific CMS musicians, our partners from Miami cultural and education institutions, our local audience, and especially the CMS Miami Host Committee for making this historic launch possible.
