The St. Augustine Music Festival's mission since 2007 is to educate, elevate and entertain with a free classical music series that celebrate the history and rich cultural traditions of The Nation's Oldest City. The annual festival has become a highlight of the summer season, attracting internationally known performers such as the Diaz Trio, violin virtuoso Elissa Lee Koljonen, guitarist Stephen Robinson, and pianists Scott Watkins and Eugenio Urrutria Borlando. Rising stars such as violinist Nigel Armstrong and living legends such as pianist Leon Fleisher are also on the roster. Programs bring audiences everything from Bach to Stravinksy, intimate solo recitals, chamber music ensembles, and full orchestral works... plus world-premier presentations of new works. Thanks to donations and sponsorships, the concerts are open to the public with no paid admission ticket required.
