New World Center, designed by internationally recognized architect Frank Gehry, has welcomed for the first time visitors to its 756-seat performance hall, since ground broke on the design in January 2008. Located in Miami Beach’s New City Center, the building will serve as the new world symphony’s campus, dedicated to the artistic development and education of the next generation of classical musicians. The design is Gehry’s first commission in Florida and is one of a three-part city redevelopment project.
