The Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival will present a free concert
of American music at Central Park in downtown Fernandina Beach at
2:30 PM on Sunday October 19, 2008.

The Atlanta Woodwind Quintet, featuring the principal winds of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, will perform music composed by such American greats as Leonard Bernstein, George Gershwin, John Philip Sousa, Aaron Copland, Samuel Barber and Scott Joplin.

Christopher Rex, artistic and general director of the Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival, said:"Our free Concert in the Park was originally scheduled for June 1 as part of the Festival's seventh season but had to be postponed due to inclement weather. We are delighted that the renowned Atlanta Woodwind Quintet has agreed to return to Amelia Island for this performance of spirited works by great American composers. This exciting and entertaining program has been designed to appeal to a wide range of musical tastes and interests."

Note that Sunday, October 19th is the bye week for the Jaguars.
