The program will feature faculty organist Dr. Kamilla Szklarska Kent along with members of the Miami Community Brass Choir and Conductor Alain Rodriguez. 

The Sydell Ida Wertheim Organ is the spotlight of the performing arts center. The prestigious 125 year old Schantz Organ Company took nearly a year to build the 26-ton organ that is the largest in Miami-Dade County and one of the most technologically advanced in the country. It features a solid-oak console with four manual keyboards and a pedal clavier that controls its 4,255 pipes.
