Abstract
Miami Beach has been the home of the New World Symphony—“America’s Orchestral Academy”—since its founding in 1987 by conductor Michael Tilson Thomas. Located one block away from the historic art-deco pedestrian mall of Lincoln Road, the 9,500 m2 (100,000 ft2) New World Center houses a wide range of facilities: a 756-seat concert hall, a multi-purpose performance room seating up to 170, twenty-four individual practice rooms, four chamber ensemble rooms, three percussion studios, and multiple offices and audio/visual facilities. The center was designed by architect Frank Gehry, who has known Tilson Thomas since childhood.
