About Us
The South Florida Friends of Classical Music ~under the artistic direction of Dr. Adolfo Vidal~ was incorporated as a non-profit organization in 2011 to encourage and support performances of classical music in South Florida. The Friends are the official sponsor of The Miami International Music Academy, The Miami World Music Festival, The Miami Chamber Players & The Teresa Carreño International Master Piano Competition.Our place in the South Florida fine arts community encompasses more than just international competition winners, fine chamber music, world-top performances and classical music meetups. We are proud to share this wonderful musical experience with the younger generation, by arranging free musicianship and master classes for students admitted into our Music Academy, and by providing free tickets for students at selected local colleges and high schools.
