3 of the Best Reasons to Attend the Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival

“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” ― Plato

1. To Experience World-Class Performances by Acclaimed Musicians 

Listen in awe as superstar violinists, grammy-winning virtuosos, and world-renowned artists take the stage. Maybe you have an ear for jazz. Perhaps you’d prefer a classical rendition of Beethoven’s sonatas. Either way, you’re in for quite a treat if you choose to attend one of the many inspiring concerts that comprise this annual music festival!   

2. To Support the Festival’s Mission in Supporting Music Education 

An essential part of the festival’s core mission is to promote music education to attendees, students, and aspiring young musicians. Artists often provide commentary on the repertoire they perform. Additionally, the festival offers fellowships, hosts masterclasses, holds a training program, and works with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Nassau County to promote a five-day-a-week strings education program.  

3. To Engage With Amelia Island’s Local Art Scene 

Not only will you have the opportunity to attend performances by musicians from around the world, you’ll also be sharing a space with local artists and art-lovers.
