The program will feature French violinist Romuald Grimbert-Barré leading a sextet ensemble in I’On’s picturesque village community.

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 Festival began with performances at various venues throughout historic Charleston and leading collegiate venues and performance halls in Atlanta, Columbia, SC, Houston, Pittsburgh, Washington, DC, Richmond, Nashville, Sacramento, and Tulsa, OK.
"Since 2014, the Festival has showcased chamber music in the enchanting setting of I’On Square, which is perfect for such intimate performances. We are thrilled to return to I’On uniting the residents of Mount Pleasant through the power of music," said Lee Pringle, Founder and Artistic Director of the Colour of Music Festival and a proud community resident.
