Ndege Philharmonic

The Ndege Philharmonic Orchestra is a groundbreaking initiative to cultivate musical excellence and enrich the cultural landscape of East and Central Africa. As the first full philharmonic of its kind in the region, it will bring together talented musicians from across the continent to create a world-class ensemble.

Location & Status

The orchestra will be based at the Ndege Arena, a state-of-the-art cultural complex currently under development. All members of the orchestra will be retained full-time by The Ndege Group, providing them with stable employment and the opportunity to dedicate themselves to their craft. The Ndege Philharmonic Orchestra will perform a diverse repertoire of classical and contemporary music, showcasing the rich musical heritage of Africa and inspiring future generations of musicians. The Trust begins a head-hunting exercise for this talented collective from mid 2025.
