The Choral Music Ghana Podcast

Kwaku and Jesse dive into the world of propriety, good behaviour and the dos and don'ts of classical music concert culture!

They discuss widely accepted norms - and some that don't sound too obvious - through hilarious anecdotes from their experiences as concert goers in Accra.

Listen now!

Kwaku and Jesse take a look back at some of the highlights of the last year. This episode touches on these exciting events and occurrences:

International Music Concert with the University of Wisconsin-Superior Music Dept, the NSO & the Holy Spirit Cathedral Choir

Constant recital series I

Kalabashie Concert: Songs of Akotam

Hope Alive Concert

Afro Classical Nights 5th Anniversary

Boatemaa's Recital at the Ghana Club

Lordina Records With Quartet from Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

Pilot of Christmas at the Cathedral

Party round the Piano

We're in a new year at Afro Classical Nights, and our 10th episode takes a look at what is coming up at the October show.

This show presents (possibly) the highest percentage of new faces in one event, with music from Fred Onovwerosuoke and Leopold Mozart, and performances by our first Mother-Daughter duo!

August is our anniversary month! This month, we celebrate 5 years of driving classical music performance in Accra, and inspiring a generation of performers and audiences!

In this episode, Jesse and Kwaku reviewed the Kalabashi Concert, the first major event from Sing AfriChoral, and the Songs of Akotam musical, written and composed by George Mensah Essilfie. Songs of Akotam was performed by The Harmonious Chorale Ghana, with direction from professors Johnson Edu and Samuel Arko Mensah, and music direction by James Varrick Armaah.
