This performance is a preview fundraiser for the St. Augustine Music Festival, scheduled for the last two weeks of June in 2023.  Originated by Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra members Jorge A. Pena and Jin Kim-Pena in 2007, the St. Augustine Music Festival has been held as a free event at the historic Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine, celebrating the rich and cultural traditions of St. Augustine.

The Mastriani Steinway Piano

In September, 2022, The St. Augustine Music Festival (SAMF) acquired a Steinway Grand piano graciously donated by the Mastriani Family, Treasure Island, FL and Schenectady, NY in honor of Paul Mastriani, jazz pianist and music lover. The piano was moved to the Waterworks Building, home of the St. Johns Cultural Council, where it will remain and eventually be available for other county arts organizations to share at that location. The SAMF piano has been brought to concert standards by Skip Becker, Master Piano Technician with support from Christina Parish Stone, Executive Director of The St. John’s Cultural Council. The SAMF piano is being introduced to the Saint Augustine Community April 23, 2023 with this special fundraising concert.
