Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival presents Romantic Strings
The nationally acclaimed Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival promotes public appreciation and education about chamber music through their annual festival and other public events and concerts. Each year, they feature internationally acclaimed talent and the finest musicians from the Southeast to enrich the life of Amelia Island, Jacksonville and surrounding communities of northeastern Florida.
The Festival strives to meet a wide range of musical tastes, including: traditional chamber music string quartets and composers such as Haydn and Mozart; chamber music ensembles, including voice, guitar and wind instruments and composers such as Schoenberg and Stravinsky; and more modern and non-traditional chamber music that explores ethnic and folk traditions as well as twentieth century composers and arrangers.
