The City of Coral Gables strives to uphold a classy reputation -
something many Miami communities sorely lack - so after nearly 20 years
the MAINLY MOZART FESTIVAL became the cornerstone of the city's cultural
calendar. Showcasing chamber music pieces by a variety of classical
composers, the highlight of the event is a children's concert that
promises to instill a love of the art of composition in our next
generation of would-be Mozarts.
The annual music series kicks off in late May and continues around town
until late June. While the focus is on Wolfgang Amadeus, there are also
presentations of other greats like Tchaikovsky, Mendelssohn and Brahms.
Concerts generally start at 4pm on Sunday afternoons making them
accessible to the whole family. Traditionally ticket prices are kept at
an affordable price with the dedicated children's concert free to young
guests accompanied by an adult.
Sponsored by the Coral Gables Cultural Affairs Council, a not-for-profit
organization that publishes the free Gables Cultural Calendar, the
Mainly Mozart Festival leads the city's cultural initiatives. Ticketing
information and show dates will be announced in the spring and inquiries
about the festival (as well as volunteer opportunities) can be addressed
to the Council or at public meetings held at 8am on the last Thursday of
every month at the Westin Colonnade Hotel.
