The Young Africans are a gifted group of singers, musicians and
dancers who were all once a part of the world-renowned African
Children’s Choir. Now 20-22 years old and more talented than ever,
they are poised to fulfill their promise and make a difference in
their communities back home.
Throughout the performance The Young Africans share various cultural
elements from their countries of Kenya and Uganda with a Stomp
inspired dance as well as highlighting unique African instruments.
Concerts are free and open to all. A free-will offering is taken at
