Composer Spotlight: Edmund Thornton Jenkins Panel Discussion
A Panel Discussion on Edmund Thornton Jenkins’ legacy with Tuffus Zimbabwe and Dr. Karen Chandler
Tuffus Zimbabwe is not only a renowned musician and fellow Charlestonian, but he’s also the keyboardist for Saturday Night Live and the great-nephew of composer Edmund Thornton Jenkins. Edmund was an American composer during the Harlem Renaissance spending most of his life abroad studying at the Royal Academy of Music after arriving in England by way of playing/directing the band of his father’s Jenkins Orphanage. Tuffus restored, edited, and arranged Edmund's music from handwritten manuscripts into printed score.

An Open Score with Tuffus Zimbabwe
Tuffus Zimbabwe is not only a renowned musician and fellow Charlestonian, but he’s also the keyboardist for Saturday Night Live and the great-nephew of composer Edmund Thornton Jenkins. Edmund was an American composer during the Harlem Renaissance spending most of his life abroad studying at the Royal Academy of Music after arriving in England by way of playing/directing the band of his father’s Jenkins Orphanage. Tuffus restored, edited, and arranged Edmund's music from handwritten manuscripts into printed score.
Mr. Zimbabwe will join us on the eve of the Colour of Music Festival‘s latest Charleston performance, which kicks off on May 4th, and features a debut of three pieces by his great-uncle. Learn the insider’s history of the ‘father of Lowcountry Black Classic Music,’ as well as some background on the quintet compositions that he has created in homage and further insights into the cultural and historical relevance of his family’s imprint on classical music via Charlestonia, perhaps one of the greatest musical tributes to Charleston.
