KENYA INTERNATIONAL CELLO FESTIVAL

MAY 2022

East Africa's First Classical & Traditional Arts Festival

KICF

The Kenya International Cello Festival brings together cellists from across the world to collaborate and perform throughout Kenya in May 2022.

Born out of a deep dedication to the students of Ghetto Classics in Korogocho, one of Africa's most impoverished communities, the repertoire and classes reflect the wide tapestry of compositional voices interwoven within the cultural fabric of the festival.
