Oct 2nd, 2010 through April 21st, 2011.
The Masterworks Season at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County will provide classical music and dance performances through 2013, with new support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. The $600,000 grant, part of Knight Foundation's national Arts Program, will be matched with $1.2 million of private sector support, both through private and corporate funding.
The first Masterworks Season to benefit from the grant will be the recently unveiled 2010-11 season, which coincides with the Adrienne Arsht Center's 5th anniversary season. It has been named the "John S. and James L. Knight 2010-2011 Masterworks Season" in recognition of the Foundation's aim to fund cultural projects that enrich and engage the South Florida community. With the community's support, Adrienne Arsht Center will match the $600,000 grant with $1.2 million in private donations. Knight Foundation grant follows 2009-10 Masterworks Season that drew tens of thousands of community patrons.
The Adrienne Arsht Center launched the Masterworks Season series in 2009 after preserving the bulk of the Concert Association of Florida's 2009 season once that organization filed for bankruptcy. Since then, audiences have embraced classical music and dance presented by the Center: tens of thousands of patrons attended concerts and performances in the series' first year and ticket sales consistently exceeded the Center's budget estimates. "On behalf of the Adrienne Arsht Center and the Miami community, we express our deepest gratitude to Knight Foundation for its generous support for our Masterworks Season," said M. John Richard, president and CEO of the Adrienne Arsht Center. "Following an inaugural year that was embraced by our patrons and participating artists alike, we are committed to solidifying the Masterworks Season as a permanent fixture in our repertoire of annual Signature Series. Knight Foundation's gift will help us do just that. We encourage members of our community to demonstrate their appreciation for Knight Foundation and love for classical music and dance by answering this important funding challenge."
"The Arsht Center has moved quickly to ensure that top notch classical performances will engage South Florida in coming years," said Dennis Scholl, vice president/arts and Miami program director for Knight Foundation. The John S. and James L. Knight 2010-2011 Masterworks Season will include the Sanford and Dolores Ziff Classical Music Series, a Signature Dance Series, and for the first time, four Pops performances:
