These artists will perform and delight audiences at the Community Arts Program (CAP) 2016 Summer Concert Series! The Community Arts Program Summer Concert Series has entertained more than 64, 000 people since it began in 1985. The Series has grown into a time-honored tradition and, more recently, part of a Community Arts Program that provides music education to children in its Conservatory for the Arts. "The Community Arts Program (CAP) Summer Concert Series is a rare opportunity to hear world-renowned artists in the intimate and beautiful Coral Gables Congregational United Church of Christ, " says Shelton G. Berg, University of Miami Dean of the Phillip and Patricia Frost School of Music. "The CAP Conservatory for the Arts provides high-quality music education to children, many of whom would otherwise be denied access to the wonder of music and the beauty of the artistic spirit."
