Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival announces 26th season

The Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival has announced its 26th season, running December 2026 through June 2027, with a lineup that brings six-time Tony Award winner Audra McDonald, Grammy-winning violinist Joshua Bell, and the Dover Quartet to Nassau County stages, alongside bluegrass ensemble Balsam Range and a full season of classical, jazz, and genre-crossing programming.

"We are so thrilled to be bringing some of the best talent in the world to Amelia Island for our audiences, but I feel, more importantly, we are expanding access to great music for our community through our free community programming. There's something else that makes the Festival special: our intimate venues, where audiences of 350 or fewer are close enough to truly feel connected to the music and the artists. Time after time, our artists tell us how much they love Amelia Island and our audiences, and how much they want to return. Something special happens at Festival concerts: there's an energy in the room that moves us all," said Robyn Lamp, Executive Director.

Season highlights include Nicole Zuraitis on Dec. 16, Audra McDonald on Feb. 23, the Dover Quartet on Feb. 19, Johannes Moser and Marc-André Hamelin on March 2, Balsam Range on March 14, and Joshua Bell with Larisa Martínez on April 23. The free Concert Truck tours Nassau County April 3-7.

This season also introduces $20 rush tickets, alongside $15 student tickets. Tickets are on sale now at Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival, where the full schedule and season brochure are available.
