Charles Murrell III

Charles is a sensitive composer drawn to exotic orchestral colors and the mysticism of the African folk melodies born here in America.

Over time he has coupled traditional classical elements with an introspective idea of composition. Reading “The Black Composer Speaks” contributed greatly to a coherent molding of these introspective ideas together, and too, in the further discovering of a deep passion for AfriClassical music (classical music of the African diaspora). 

Primarily self taught until his former years, he has shared experiences in performing across the country at some notable concert halls to include Jordan Hall, The Kennedy Center, Strathmore Hall, and Murphy Fine Arts Center. Having performed under the batons of David N. Baker, Roland Carter, Charles Dickerson, William Drury and Lloyd B. Mallory, Jr. There lies a great deal of his inspiration, and he is deeply grateful for the  passionate teachings of these conductors.

 In addition to premiering his own works, Charles holds a strong passion for premiering and performing the works of other AfriClassical and  living composers. Notable mentions include Bill Banfield’s 8th symphony, Charles Dickerson’s I Have a Dream, David Amram’s Summertime and Greenwich Village Portraits as well as Roland Carter’s Hold Fast to Dreams. 

In 2017, he achieved a career dream and began working with Hannibal Lokumbe. He would also like to mention his mentors Larry Williams (The American Studio Orchestra), Nathan Carter, James Lee III and Dominique De’Lerma (Morgan State University). Charles was awarded SPOKE’s Gallery, Daniel Morrison Fellows in 2021.

Charles is a BMI artist, as well as a William Grant Still Music Artist in Residence. He currently resides in the Boston area.
