Nu Deco Access.

Music for everyone in our community — free tickets and pre-approved access to transportation for those without equitable access to live performance across Miami.

Nu Deco Ensemble strives to make music accessible to all in our community, no matter the situation. Nu Deco Access helps us reach this goal by providing free tickets to our live and streamed performances for communities without equitable access across Miami.

Through Access, Nu Deco partners with shelters, community centers, and nonprofit organizations to distribute free tickets to our performances, along with pre-approved access to transportation.

In Their Words

Voices from our community.

I wanted to thank you again for the Nu Deco tickets last weekend. We had such a great time. The venue is spectacular, the performances and the light shows were impressive, and the weather was perfect. Thank you for providing teachers with an opportunity to experience this event.

I can't start my day off until I thank you! Everything went off perfectly. We had a great driver, and the kids loved seeing the bandshell as we drove up! We had all our tickets and they loved having headphones too. The staff gave the kids popcorn and we were ready to go. The show was magnificent — they loved it! The music, the lighting, and of course Joy Oladokun!! Thank you so much for allowing such a special moment for the students!

Guitars Over Guns
These free tickets gave us a great opportunity to attend the concert that we might not have considered, and experiencing live music can be culturally enriching, exposing individuals to different genres, styles, and interpretations.

I am so grateful for Nu Deco's creativity. They fill a vital and unique space in the Miami music scene. Thank you for making this talented orchestra available to all.

Thanks so much to Charlotte and the entire Nu Deco team for always thinking of us and extending such a generous offer to our residents. It really enhances their experience while in shelter and gives them a time of rest, relaxation, fun, and enjoyment during a very stressful time in their lives.

I have no words — what an amazing performance. We all enjoyed it. It means so much to us to get out. I don't get out much. Cancer is no fun. Thank you again for sharing it with 305 and the ladies — it was, as always, a phenomenal performance.

We had a fantastic time at the Andrew Bird concert this week! The kids were absolutely thrilled and couldn't stop expressing their excitement, with plenty of “oohs and ahhhs” throughout the performance. Our kids were impressed and inspired. Thank you for bringing such a unique and engaging program to our students.

The Motivational Edge
Nu Deco offers enrichment to people who can't afford tickets plus parking. As a single mother of 3, I kindly accepted free tickets from various organizations enriching my children's lives. As young adults they now look back and thank me for their well-rounded education. I couldn't have offered them these experiences if it weren't for the organizations' generosity.
