History

The Concert On The Green was co-founded by Joy McCumber Myers in 1987. Joy Myers has been the guiding light for the concert since its inception. The Concert On The Green was created to provide a magnificent natural setting for families to come together to enjoy a wonderful evening of diverse musical entertainment involving the participation of Clay County students and schools.

The first Concert On The Green was held the last week of May in 1988 and featured Jacksonville’s own C. Carter Nice, Jr. conducting the Starlight Symphonette. In the years since, the Concert On The Green has evolved into a multi-faceted event featuring the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra performing light classical and pop arrangements.

A Clay County student, chosen via a countywide competition, performs with the orchestra as the featured soloist for the evening.

After being ably managed for 20 years through the efforts of Marion Wehner, Joy Meyer and a host of volunteers, Rotary Club of Fleming Island has now taken on that responsibility with the continued support of that cadre of folks.
