Beth Newdome Resident Festival Artists Program
Resident Festival Artists Program (RFA) candidates are selected each year by Christopher Rex, the Festival’s artistic director, in conjunction with the nation’s top conservatories, including Curtis, UCLA, Julliard, Cleveland and Indiana. As a result of the rigorous selection process, a string quartet and one pianist are instructed by two professionals from the roster of guest artists to guide the residency activities of the RFA students.

	Beth Anne Newdome February 6, 1964 - February 13, 2010
Violinist Beth Newdome was critical to the formation of the Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival. She participated in a “trial” concert at the Ritz Carlton in December 2000 to gauge if there was any interest in the concept of a chamber music festival. Beth, who performed in many concerts over the years, immediately became a favorite of our audiences an indispensible part of the first eight Festivals. The AICMF’s character reflects Beth’s personality: friendly, enthusiastic and musical performances of the highest artistic caliber.
