On Saturday, November 1, audiences in Miami Beach’s SoundScape Park will be treated to a free WALLCAST® performance of Mahler’s Symphony No. 9, conducted by MTT. This concert was originally performed live with the New World Fellows on May 5, 2018. Encore WALLCAST® concerts offer audiences a unique opportunity to relive some of the most memorable performances from NWS’s extensive concert archives.
On Saturday, November 15, Venezuelan conductor Domingo Hindoyan, Chief Conductor of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and incoming Music Director of Los Angeles Opera (2026-27 season), leads guest cello soloist Alban Gerhardt in Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No. 2. Gerhardt has gained recognition as one of the world’s most versatile cellists, highly regarded for his technical mastery, profound musicality and insatiable artistic curiosity. Opening the program is NWS Conducting Fellow Ziwei Ma leading the Fellows in Rene Orth’s Chasing Light, a high-energy orchestral ride that channels the intensity of youth. The performance of Chasing Light will include immersive projections throughout the New World Center’s Michael Tilson Thomas Performance Hall designed by the NWS Media Team. Hindoyan closes the program with Dvořák’s beloved and dramatic Symphony No. 9, “From the New World.”
On Saturday December 13, Austrian conductor Manfred Honeck, Music Director of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, returns to NWS for a program of masterworks from his native Austria. The concert opens with J. Strauss’ Overture to Die Fledermaus, an effervescent eight-minute work drawn from the composer’s most famous operetta, followed by Haydn’s Symphony No. 93, admired since its London premiere for its brilliance and wit. The program closes with Mahler’s Symphony No. 4, featuring soprano Lauren Snouffer, one of the most versatile and respected sopranos on the international stage. Snouffer made her Metropolitan Opera debut this month as Sarah Kavalier in the new production premiere of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, and will resume the role for encore performances in February 2026.
On December 20, Ziwei Ma will lead a special holiday concert, “Sounds of the Season,” inviting audiences of all ages to celebrate and enjoy festive music under the stars.
