SAMF Board of Directors

The St. Augustine Music Festival endeavors to connect culture and community through world-class music. We deepen the connection to the rich cultural and historical traditions of the region through the artistic and sophisticated chamber music performances to strengthen and unify the St. Augustine community.

Our Board of Directors also plays an important role in engaging the community. Each member of the diverse SAMF Board brings a different background, view, and expertise that propels SAMF to expand and evolve with meaningful and purposeful world-class music experiences.
