The Venue

The beautiful St. Augustine Cathedral Basilica traces its lineage to 1565 when Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles established St. Augustine in the name of Catholic Spain. The St. Augustine Music Festival, an independent not-for-profit group, has presented concerts at the Basilica since 2007 through a gracious agreement with the parish.

The Artists

The St. Augustine Music Festival was founded in 2007 by Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra members Jorge A. Peña (viola) and Jin Kim-Peña (cello). They envisioned a FREE world class music series to 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.
