Chevalier Festival

The Fifth Annual Chevalier Festival celebrates Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, an eighteenth-century French violinist and composer from Guadalupe. The son of a French plantation owner and enslaved Senegalese woman, Bologne was sent to study music in Paris at the age of seven. He was contemporary with Mozart and he became famous for his compositions. Join us for an afternoon celebrating his music with the Afro-American Chamber Music Society Orchestra.
