Build an orchestra

Joyce Zaritsky wrote that Miami does not have its own symphony orchestra.

But it does have Orchestra Miami, Opus One Orchestra, Florida Grand Opera Orchestra, Miami Lyric Opera Orchestra and Miami Symphony Orchestra, not to mention all of the talent that is training at various educational establishments.

So we do have groups and many talented musicians. Now let’s step forward and give these talented conductors enough money to allow Miami to build itself the world-class organization our city deserves.
