THE ISLAND CONCERT ASSOCIATION CONCERTS
2025

To our wonderful Island Concert Association Patrons and Sponsors,

 

As we reflect on the success of the 2025 Island Concert Association's February Festival of Concerts, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to each of you. Your generous support and commitment to attending the concerts were pivotal in making this event another remarkable celebration of music and community.

 

This year’s vibrant performances were only possible because of your contributions. Your belief in our mission to promote the arts by bringing excellent musical artists to the Golden Isles has truly made a difference. We also express our appreciation to Saint Simons Presbyterian Church for providing the facilities to offer these concerts.

 

We are grateful for your partnership and dedication.

 

Thank you once again for being an integral part of our festival. We look forward to continuing this journey and creating even more memorable experiences in the future.

 

Warmest regards,

 

Island Concert Association Board

Dr. Mark Lochstampfor, President, Island Concert Association
