For the first time in its history, The Miami Symphony Orchestra redefines its highest recognition.
On May 3, 2026, at the Knight Concert Hall of the Adrienne Arsht Center, MISO, under the direction of Maestro Eduardo Marturet, will present the 2026 Golden Baton Award not to an individual, but to an institution — the Miami Design District.
A historic decision that shifts the spotlight from a single figure to a cultural force.
As the cultural home of MISO, the Miami Design District has become more than a destination. It is a living platform where art, design, fashion, and innovation converge, shaping the identity of a city that continues to position itself on the global cultural map.
This recognition marks a defining moment in the evolution of the award. Since its inception in 2014, the Golden Baton has honored influential leaders across South Florida. This year, it acknowledges something broader — an ecosystem.
Under the vision of Maestro Eduardo Marturet, this gesture reflects a deeper understanding of how culture is built today: through spaces, through collaboration, through institutions that sustain creative dialogue.
The Miami Design District stands not only as a recipient, but as a symbol of where Miami is heading.
