The evening’s performance will celebrate the artistic brilliance and impact of MTT, who transformed the cultural landscape of Miami Beach when he and Ted and Lin Arison founded NWS in 1987. Since then, nearly 1,200 NWS alums have gone on to transform their communities as artists, educators, administrators and more.

Joining in the celebration is world-renowned cellist and MTT’s longtime colleague and friend, Yo-Yo Ma, whose most recent appearance with NWS received "one of the longest ovations in recent memory” (South Florida Classical Review).
