Panel sheds light on Charleston’s “father of Black classical music” Edmund Thornton Jenkins, a Morehouse College and Royal Conservatory of London alum. The panel explores four of his compositions to be presented by the Colour of Music Festival Chamber Orchestra.
Dr. Karen Chandler, Tuffus Zimbabwe, and Dr. Christopher Brooks will provide historical context to the featured performance (on Nov 17th) and offer thoughts and insights of a classical legacy just beginning to be told.
