Join us for the next Music at McBride Plaza performance of the 2025 series, featuring the dynamic trio, FiddleHead! This cross-genre folk trio is inspired by groups like Mumford and Sons, Nickel Creek, and Coldplay. With a unique blend of rock, pop, and string band music, FiddleHead creates an enchanting and foot-stomping experience. Drawing from the diverse musical landscapes of the Colorado Rockies to the North Carolina coast, their performances reflect their rich musical upbringing.

Get ready to be captivated by FiddleHead's one-of-a-kind sound and energy! Follow them on Instagram at @fiddlehead_folkband.

The Music at McBride Plaza Series is designed to offer young musicians studying at UM’s Frost School of Music the opportunity to showcase their talents in a setting easily accessible to businesspeople, residents, and visitors. The musicians go through a rigorous selection process auditioning for faculty who then select the top six groups to perform. The final group of musicians for the series typically represents a wide variety of musical genres which makes each concert a unique and wonderful experience for all.

This concert series is brought to you by the Arthur B. McBride Family Foundation, City of Coral Gables, Dosal Family Foundation and the Coral Gables Welcome Center.
