Romanza: The San Marco Chamber Music Society

Romanza presents ...

On Sunday, May 17, 2026, from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m., the Romanza Festivale presents the San Marco Chamber Music Society in a concert at Trinity Episcopal Church.

Founded in 2008 by Jacksonville Symphony members Eric and Ellen Olson, the San Marco Chamber Music Society has presented three to six free concerts each year. The Olsons invite various musicians to join them.

Most of the San Marco Chamber Music Society performances take place in Northeast Florida, often in St. Mark's Lutheran Church in Jacksonville. In March 2025, the group toured Italy, performing the Mozart Clarinet Quintet and music by Bill Douglas, Puccini, and Szewczyk. In prior years, they have performed in Germany. Their concerts have included music by composers they believe are underrated, selections of Baroque compositions, and music by Mozart. While nearly all of their concerts are free, each year they offer a concert to benefit JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation). 

Admission: Free

When: Sunday, May 17, 2026, from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m.

Where: Trinity Episcopal Church, 215 St. George Street, St. Augustine, Florida 32084
