First Africa Cantat Festival, Nairobi, Kenya, August 22-29, 2020
Published: Aug 30,2019

We are very happy to announce the very first Africa Cantat Festival which will take place in Nairobi, Kenya from 22nd to 29th of August 2020!

Africa Cantat is a one-week festival bringing together choirs and singers from Kenya, from other parts of Africa and from the rest of the world. The festival offers the opportunity to experience singing together and learning from professional international conductors, surrounded by a unique beautiful Kenyan landscape. During the festival, you'll get the opportunity to attend a one-week „Warsha“ (workshop in Kiswahili, the national language of Kenya). Each conductor of the workshops will bring a unique repertoire to the festival. You will also get a chance to participate in the Open Singing or to perform a concert, if you come with your choir.

There will be an additional programme for conductors to exchange and to get inspired by the cultural diversity of the participating choirs and conductors.
