Completely describe Project approved by the Grants Panel and in a separate narrative detail all revisions to
the Project based upon the City Commission approved award. Please be as specific as possible; name of
event, specific dates, venues, times, artists, etc. Use extra page if necessary.
Project description as approved by Grants Panel: The project as approved is to help underwrite our two
largest concert programs of the 2010 -2011 season which will be held at the Lincoln Theater and the
Colony Theater both venues being located on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach. Both concert programs are
original works that have never been presented before. Our season also includes the Second Annual
MGMC South Florida Choral Festival which will be held at Trinity Episcopal Church just across the
causeway from Miami Beach and a concert by INSIGNIA, our small ensemble which will be in June in
Coconut Grove. The funding from this grant will be used 'solely for the performances of our two featured
concert programs that will be performed in Miami Beach.
The first concert in this project is "Come Fly with Me for the Holidays!" the MGMC Holiday Concert.
This year's concert will take our audience members on a trip around the world as we celebrate Holiday
music from around the globe. We begin our trip with a departure from the Miami International Airport with
our host and personal flight attendant. He will take us on an unforgettable world tour with twists and turns
and some unexpected stops along the way. We will honor the traditions and the diversity of our ever -
changing global community as we celebrate the holiday season with our audiences.
Show Times and Dates: "Come Fly Away with Me for the Holidays!"
• Friday December 17 Lincoln Theater . 8 p.m.
• Saturday December 18 Lincoln Theater 8 p.m.
Our second concert in this project will be "Bye, Bye, By the Boy Bands!" the MGMC Spring Concert.
This will be a tribute to the boy bands that have helped us sing, dance, fall in love and get through life's
hurdles. From the Beatles to the Backstreet Boys, all the boy bands that have kept us movin' and groovin'
through the decades will all have their place of honor in this concert. We will also pay tribute to the artists
that were brave enough to come out in public and made a difference along the way.
Show Times and Dates: "Bye, Bye, By the Boy Bands!"
• Friday May 20 Colony Theater 8 p.m.
• Saturday May 21 Colony Thea 8 p.m.
• Sunday May 22 Colony Theat 3 p.m.
Project description as revised (if applicable) ba upon the City Commission approved award:
Changes to projects awarded under the Artistic Disciplines program must still adhere to the requirement that the work
is new or has never before been presented in Miami Beach.
The only revision to the project from the application has been the change of venue from the Byron Carlyle
Theater to the Lincoln Theater for the Holiday Show and the change in the program from 3 performances
to 2 performances due to the increase in seating capacity from the Lincoln Theater. The change in venue
was done due to the increase revenues by using the Lincoln Theater and the fact that the Byron Carlyle
may be under new ownership at the time of the upcoming performance.
