Community Arts Program - Concert Series
Twenty-six years ago, an evening summer concert series was born to present classical and jazz musicians within the Spanish-revival architecture and intimate setting of Coral Gables Congregational Church (CGCC). Magic happened! 150 concerts and upwards of 62,000 attendees later, the Coral Gables Congregational Church Summer Concert Series has become a longstanding tradition that is now part of a year-round Community Arts Program that offers so much more.

The South Florida Jazz Summit is a fundraising event produced annually by the Jazz Museum of Florida, Inc (dba Jazzonian), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. All proceeds from this event go to community outreach jazz education programs under the aegis of the Jazz Museum of Florida, Inc.
