These seats are reserved for our donors who have made significant donations. These donors are also entitled to early entry from 6:30 to 7:00 PM. This entry is from the door on the east side of the Cathedral (right side of the building). This year, there are two categories of reserved seating: Those making donations of $1,000 or more – and concert sponsors – will be seated in the Prime reserved section, in the very first rows. A donation of $350 or more entitles the donor to sit in the regular reserved seating area General seating is available to everyone attending our FREE concerts. We do recommend that you go to the website and reserve tickets for guaranteed seating, especially for popular concerts. Click on the link below to reserve. We apologize that it is necessary to make separate entries to reserve your seats for multiple concerts. EventBrite does not provide an option to fill in your information and indicate multiple dates. Please Note that the St. Augustine Music Festival Program is headed for the printers and we will not be able to add names to additional donors in the program. However, donations of $350 or more received prior to the upcoming concerts will still enable reserved seating during any and all of the concerts. • • St. Augustine Music Festival 2024 • • Highlighted on 904 News Jorge Peña and Bill Boxer were special guests on 904 News on Wednesday, June 12 talking about the St. Augustine Music Festival.

The SAMF Chamber Orchestra concerts, performed in the beautiful and historic Cathedral Basilica, offer exceptional acoustics in an uplifting and welcoming setting. Celebrating almost two decades of world-class concerts, the SAMF Chamber Orchestra attracts internationally accomplished performers and young rising stars to its series roster each year and continues to be the nation’s largest free chamber music festival.
