Knight Concert Hall — Attraction in Miami

You walk into Knight Concert Hall and feel it immediately: precision, beauty, and intention. Every sound has a place. Every performer is supported, not stifled. Behind the scenes, there’s coordination. On stage, there’s brilliance. It's a space that lets people rise to their full potential — not one that cuts them down for standing out.

Now step into the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, and it’s a different tune entirely. There, the only thing that gets orchestrated is internal politics. Faculty protect territory instead of nurturing growth. If you’re too driven, too curious, or unwilling to play along with a fragile hierarchy, you’re labeled as “difficult” — not brilliant. Teaching assistants gatekeep. Administration gaslights. And the most talented people are often the ones forced to shrink or leave.

Knight Hall elevates performers. Miller suppresses them.

At Knight, the brightest are given the spotlight. At Miller, they’re treated like a problem to fix. That’s not education — that’s sabotage.

Five stars to Knight Concert Hall — for reminding us what excellence looks like when systems support it,...

This past Saturday I attended the presentation of the Flamenco Ballet Amor Brujo, by the Siudy Flamenco Group.

I most say I was astonished by two occurrences : First was seen attendees entering to the hall with food and drinks ,yes I mean pizza, and other kind of food and beverages , from beer to sodas . I have never been in a concert hall that allows to bring then into the hall.

Second, the introduction was carried out solely on Spanish. This in city and country where the official language is English. What a lack of sensitivity toward the Anglo present in the hall, and to the city residents .

How can this be allowed to happen. To me it shows the lack of culture existing in this community.

Third, in every major cultural hall that I have been, in many different countries, wen the time scheduled or the evening show (being music, theater or any other venue) to start the access doors are closed on time, and no one else is allowed to enter.

We sure have a lot to improve before we can call Miami a first class cultural ...

The Hall as a building looks great but the staff there is not on the same page. All the ushers didn't know the seating chart. Also, it seems like both ushers and bartenders don't follow the same rules. I purchased a bottle of water and a drink before going into the hall and I stepped outside to go get another drink. I had my water bottle in my hand and was told that I couldn't take it inside. My question is why was it ok the first time I went and not the second time and why was I sold the bottle if I couldn't take it inside with me? To me, that's a poor customer service. If it is a policy, then everyone should know it and enforce it...
