20th – 28th February 2023
In partnership with Tiia Maria Saari; a re-known choir conductor and music teacher in Helsinki, we are planning a one of a kind music Festival in Kenya. The Festival is
dabbed “Joyous Choir Festival”. This is simply because our major objective during the festival is to use music as a tool to light up, inspire and bring joy to different people. (Both the Festival participants and our audiences). We also intend to use this as a platform for networking among singers, getting exposed to new cultures and of course; exploring the African adventure through the same. Please check out the itinerary below, and contact us for more details on inquiries and registrations.
