The Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival was founded in 2001 by Christopher Rex, a vacationer on Amelia Island and principal cellist of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and a group of Fernandina Beach women, who loved chamber music. The first season was launched with a budget of only $50,000, raised by a group of generous donors and a corporate sponsorship of $30,000 from First National Bank, now First Federal Bank. Friends also donated housing for the artists, and some artists even donated their services to help get the Festival established.
