The concert is being dedicated to the memory of Susan Wilson Goldman, a founding member of the Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival. Susan was a tremendous supporter of the arts on Amelia Island. She met Christopher Rex, General and Artistic Director of the Festival, when he performed for a women’s group called Centered Ladies. Susan, along with four other volunteers, took on the project of supporting Mr. Rex’s vision of producing a Chamber Music Festival on Amelia Island. Susan became President of the Board of Directors, a job she held for five years and then continued to be a supporter and advocate of the Festival throughout her life.
“Thanks to Susan’s leadership, energy and enthusiasm The Festival has grown to become a signature event for Amelia Island bringing internationally acclaimed artists to our community,” said Emma Mills Bledsoe, President of the Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival’s Board of Directors. “To say she will be missed is an understatement, but her legacy lives on, and we are forever thankful for her inspiration and support of the arts community. It is genuinely our pleasure and appropriate to honor Susan by dedicating the performance of the talented Danish String Quartet to her memory,” added Ms. Bledsoe.
