when a community moves in true harmony, you can hear it before you ever see it. It is the sound of neighbors lifting one another up, volunteers sustaining the arts, and people creating something greater than the sum of its parts. For 25 years, the Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival in northeast Florida has embodied that spirit. It has brought world-class performers to Florida's First Coast, inspired young people through music education and shown that a committed community can resonate as powerfully as any concert hall performance. Mr. Speaker, a festival is more than just music. It reflects the heart of the place that sustains it. For a quarter century, the Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival has proven that when a community comes together, it always plays in perfect tune. Congratulations on 25 amazing years.
