MOJA: Colour of Music Festival Octet

Hailed as a Southern Cultural Treasure, the Colour of Music Festival (COMF) returns to Charleston's Historic Dock Street Theatre with a classical chamber music performance in honor of the legacy and compositional genius of Charleston-born composer, Edmund Thornton Jenkins.  Also on the program are quintet settings, Valerie Coleman’s UMOJA, and work by Afro-Cuban composer José White Lafitte. Special guest Meghan Bennett will join the COMF Octet, as well.  The evening will culminate with Felix Mendelssohn’s Octet in E-flat major, Op.20.
