The Colour of Music Festival will continue through the weekend here in Charleston!

The festival runs Feb. 2 through 5. This is the ninth annual showcase of leading black classical artists from U.S., France, and Colombia South America to come to Charleston.

Since 2013, international, national and regional classically trained black musicians of African descent have shared their talents with Charleston. The festival has also traveled to various venues across the nation since 2016.

"The 2022 series builds on the expansion of the Festival’s chamber music and brings back its original ‘Virtuosi’ co-ed moniker begun in 2014. The slate of stellar artists will perform compositions ranging from baroque to modern, including works by several noted Black female composers Florence B. Price, Margaret Bonds, Valerie Coleman, and Jessy Montgomery," event organizers said.

Attendees will have to follow COVID-19 protocols, which include presenting a fully vaccinated and boosted vaccination card for entry. People must also wear a KN95 mask throughout the performance and COMF will provide masks if the attendee does not have one.
