Beginning with our inaugural year, the Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival knew the importance of Music Education. Master Classes and tutoring for our Young Resident Artists program played an important role in our early seasons. now in our 23rd season main education initiative has not only thrived, but expanded into the annual Christopher Rex String Seminar. We invite rising star string students to be our Beth Newdome Fellowship Artists. These students are on the cusp of their professional careers and hail from the nation’s leading conservatories and universities. For a week in late May, they are mentored by professional musicians. This training program culminates in a series of public performances including outreach concerts in the community and our Festival Finale Concert in June.
