Soundscape Park in the Evening



We recently spent some time exploring the new Soundscape Park by Lincoln Road adjacent
 to the New World Center. 
This is a city-owned space on 2.5 acres. It was not designed to feel exactly like a park, but rather an open area with tropical plants and steel pergolas, adorned with colorful bougainvillea flowers. Pathways lead you to explore all the areas of the space.

SoundScape features a 7,500 sq. ft. projection wall with a world class sound system. This will provide a perfect setting for concerts, video art and films.

In addition to cultural, musical sound and art events, the park is also available for sit-down or cocktail celebrations.

A New Landmark: The New World Center

Architect Frank Gehry, in his only Florida project, has designed a world-class facility for music education and performances.


The main entrance features 80 ft high glass windows and views of the dramatic structure and atrium. 



The center holds a performance hall with seating for upto 756 people.  With theatrical lighting, natural lighting, recording, projection and webcasting infrastructure and robotic HD cameras, the center is a true state-of-the-art marvel. 

There are several practice, rehearsal, and teaching rooms in the building.  In addition, the Suntrust Pavillion is a large multi-purpose room for teaching, film screenings, lectures, meetings, etc.


A reception space is available on the roof terrace on the sixth floor, along with a music library, private suite and an outside plaza surrounded by a beautiful garden with stunning views of Miami Beach.
