 ABOUT

The Claxton Powell Music Festival was created as a way to honor Jeanetta Hopkins'  ( founder of Bull City Music School) family and their lineage of musicians. The festival celebrates the diversity in music education and performance through music of underrepresented composers. This is an opportunity for music lovers, educators and performers to engage in meaningful dialogue in an atmosphere of unity.
