FIU Wertheim School of Music announces 2024/2025 season | FIU News

At FIU’s Herbert and Nicole Wertheim School of Music & Performing Arts, music is the heartbeat of a vibrant community. The 2024/2025 season establishes FIU as a hub for musical innovation, bringing together students, faculty, alumni, guest artists and the public through more than 100 performances, master classes and initiatives. With a diverse range of offerings—from classical masterpieces to musical theatre—this year’s highlights include Grammy-winning artists, national partnerships with institutions like the Santa Fe Opera, international collaborations and dynamic local partnerships that celebrate the intersection of creativity, culture and connection.

“Our vision is about building bridges, between genres, generations and cultures,” said Karen Veloz, director of the Wertheim School of Music. “We’re not just performing for audiences. We’re creating a space where music brings people together, where students play alongside Grammy-winning artists and where Miami’s cultural fabric is woven into every note.”

The Wertheim’s performances span a variety of platforms, from the concert stage at the Wertheim Concert Hall and venues across Florida to locations like St. Francis Auditorium in Santa Fe and weekly broadcasts such as the FIU Music Hour on WDNA 88.9 FM. These platforms not only broaden the reach of the university’s music community but also deepen its connection with the public.

“We have a thriving music scene on campus, featuring everything from our top student ensembles to world-class guest performers and artists-in-residence, showcased in programs such as the annual FIU Music Festival this fall,” said Veloz. “This year builds on these platforms, placing our students at the forefront, creating new opportunities for them to engage with high-profile musicians and keeping FIU deeply connected to the larger community.”
