On February 4, 2026, Mount Pleasant will once again host a truly special cultural experience as the Colour of Music Festival takes the stage at I’On Chapel.
This nationally recognized festival celebrates classical music by composers and musicians of African descent, highlighting extraordinary talent through orchestral concerts, chamber ensembles, and solo performances. It is both an artistic showcase and an important reminder of the diverse voices that have shaped classical music.
A Celebration of Excellence and Heritage
The Colour of Music Festival is known for its commitment to excellence and representation. Performances feature accomplished musicians from across the country, bringing powerful and often underrepresented works to audiences in an intimate, inspiring setting.
I’On Chapel provides a beautiful and reflective backdrop, allowing audiences to fully appreciate the artistry and emotion behind each performance.
