Celebrating its tenth season and fresh off three sold-out performances in historic downtown Charleston, the Colour of Music Festival will present its Quintet and Quartet in a debut performance at the North Charleston Arts Fest. The ensembles showcase black classical artists from the US, Canada, France, and Colombia, South America. The chamber presentation will premiere three chamber settings of Negro Symphony excerpts by North Charleston’s own composer, Edmund Thornton Jenkins, along with other chamber gems.

The Colour of Music Festival gathers international, national, and regional classically trained Black musicians of African descent to share their musical talents, knowledge, and inspiration in Charleston each year, and since 2016 has performed in leading performance venues in Washington, DC, Atlanta, Houston, Nashville, New York City, Pittsburgh, Richmond, Tulsa, and Sacramento.
