In April 2007, Shelly Berg, American pianist, composer, arranger, orchestrator, and producer, was appointed as the new dean of the Frost School of Music following retirement of James William Hipp.

The concert hall hosts performances by students, faculty, and guest artists.

Other school facilities include the 150-seat Victor E. Clarke Recital Hall, The Marta and L. Austin Weeks Music Library and Technology Center (opened in 2005), the Bertha Foster practice building, and the newly-constructed Patricia L. Frost North and South Buildings, home to faculty studios.

These facilities, as well as the Rehearsal Center and Volpe Classroom Building, are all located at Frost School of Music on the University of Miami's main campus in Coral Gables, Florida.

On October 16, 2003, at a gala event launching the University of Miami's "Momentum Campaign" established to raise $1 billion, the university announced a $33 million gift from philanthropists Phillip Frost and his wife Patricia and the plan to rename the University of Miami School of Music as Frost School of Music.
