Our Speaker Today:
Mark Hart, "Community Arts Program"
Mark Hart is the director of the Community Arts Program at Coral Gables Congregational Church located across from the Biltmore Hotel. He presented to us background information regarding the program and also where the program hopes to grow from here.
In 1985, Dr. Paul Blaney, a church member and University of Miami adminsitrator, initiated the Summer Concert Series composed primarily of up-and-coming artists. Given the sucess, this program soon grew. In 2002, Mark Hart formed the Community Arts Program with the goal of engaging the greater community in outreach initiatives and implementing a Young Musicians' Summer Master Class that provide professional insights and coaching to young musicians by renowed artists appearing in the Summer Concert Series.
In 2002, the CGCC Community Arts Program Conservatory for the Arts was formed. This program provides after-school instruction to children ages 8-18 on instrumentals, music theory and performance. In 2011, an additional component was added to include recording projects, art of studio musicianship and production and marketing. This resulted in the first CAP records release by the All Star Jazz Ensemble titled "With a Swing!"
The program goal is to not only place an instrument in the hands of children, but to teach them the creative process is only as valuable as their passion, discipline and commitment.
