St. Augustine Music Festival
The St. Augustine Music Festival produces, performs, and promotes inspiring world-class music to a diverse audience in an accessible, welcoming environment to enhance the quality of life and further the sense of connection within the community during the last two weeks of June and other occasions.
SAMF entertains, educates, and elevates through music.
In 2007, the St. Augustine Music Festival (SAMF) was conceived as a free chamber music concert series to celebrate the rich artistic and cultural traditions of St. Augustine. The SAMF Chamber Orchestra concerts are presented at the historic Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine, a beautiful, convenient, and accessible location with exceptional acoustics. This uplifting and welcoming setting provides SAMF attendees the opportunity to deepen their appreciation for this genre of music, connect with the community, and participate in a memorable and fulfilling experience.
Celebrating over a decade of world-class concerts, the SAMF Chamber Orchestra attracts internationally accomplished performers and young rising stars to its series roster each year. The annual festival has since become a highlight of St. Augustine’s summer season and continues to be the nation’s largest free chamber music festival.
