Return to I’On for a Special Evening of Chamber Music Saturday, May 21
May 11, 2022, Charleston SC —In tandem with a concert event at the Charleston Library Society May 19, the Colour of Music Festival will return to I’On Village in Mount Pleasant SC at I’On Village Chapel, Saturday, May 21, 2022, at 7:30 p.m. for a special performance showcasing leading Black classical artists.
German-born violinist Anyango Yarbo-Davenport will be featured as part of an evening of duos and quartets in I’On’s picturesque village community east of the Cooper. The evening will include a duo for violin and viola by John Halvorsen, Zoltán Kodály’s Duo for Violin and Cello Op. 7 and works by two black composers―Valerie Coleman’s Umoja for String Quartet and Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson’s String Quartet No. I “Calvary―to honor the many black communities surrounded by the Mount Pleasant and Awendaw communities.
Since 2013, the Colour of Music Festival offers a musical kaleidoscope highlighting the impact and historical significance of Black classical composers and performers on American and world culture. The Colour of Music Festival began with performances at various venues throughout historic Charleston and has grown to debut at leading collegiate venues and performance halls in Atlanta, Columbia, SC, Houston, Pittsburgh, Washington, DC, Richmond, Nashville, Sacramento and Tulsa, OK.
“Dating
back to 2014, the Colour of Music Festival was among several music
entities that inaugurated the I’ON Village Concert Series. I am elated
to produce what I hope will
be many more events in partnership with the I’ON Trust whose mission is
to bring the I’ON Village and surrounding communities together through
music,” said Lee Pringle, Founder and Artistic Director, Colour of Music
Festival and community resident.
