700-seat concert hall with state-of-the-art technology in a 100,640-square-foot building includes rehearsal and practice studios complete with classrooms and instructional facilities. Walking outside the concert hall, visitors encounter the new Miami Beach SoundScape, a landscaped 2.5- acre public space into which New World Symphony extends its programming. Together, the building and the public space create a dynamic new city center and a geographical “heart” from which civic, cultural, recreational, tourist and leisurely activities take place.
