This week we will present two 2pm matinee performances and an evening chamber concert at the Navy Chapel, along with a Masterworks Finale debut at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center.

Colour of Music Festival is such a powerhouse for spotlighting Black classical musicians, and the Eternal Father of the Sea (the historic Navy Chapel) provides the perfect intimate acoustic for a sextet. Tonight’s focus is on Chamber Music (Quartet, Quintet, and Sextet ensembles)

Eternal Father of the Sea Chapel is filled with the timeless sounds of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750) this afternoon. Pianist Edward E. Callahan is currently delivering a masterful performance of the Prelude and Fugue in D Minor.

We opened this magnificent Chamber Music Performance with Samuel Barber’s Summer Music for Woodwind Quintet, Op. 31. The phenomenal artists L-R: Ceylon N. Mitchell, II | Flute Sarah Bushara | Oboe Tylor M. Thomas | Bassoon Kyra Sims | Horn LeTriel Monique White | Clarinet
