Classics at the Coast: The Kenya Conservatoire of Music Returns with a Powerful Orchestral Tour

Nairobi, Kenya – July 25, 2025 — After a five-year hiatus, the Kenya Conservatoire of Music is making a triumphant return to the Coast with “Classics at the Coast,” a breathtaking three-day orchestral concert series set to bring world-class classical music back to Nyali, Vipingo Ridge, and Malindi from 25–27 July 2025.

Audiences will be treated to stirring performances by a 50+ piece orchestra made up of conservatoire students, professional musicians, and passionate artists from across Kenya. With a program featuring timeless works by Beethoven, Sibelius, and Elgar, as well as Kenyan folk-fusion arrangements and original compositions, this concert series promises to be a musical and cultural celebration like no other.

Dates & Venues:

• Friday, 25 July – Crossroads Church, Nyali
• Saturday, 26 July – Vipingo Ridge, Kilifi
• Sunday, 27 July – Cleopatra Theatre, Malindi (2:30 PM – 6:00 PM)

More than a concert, Classics at the Coast is a revival — a return of live orchestral music to coastal Kenya, inviting both seasoned lovers of classical music and curious first-timers to experience the depth, passion, and beauty of the symphonic form.

“We’re incredibly proud to bring this music back to the coast,” says the Conservatoire’s leadership. “It’s not just about performance — it’s about reconnecting communities to music that moves, inspires, and unites.”

Audiences can expect grand crescendos, emotional solos, and the thrill of live ensemble power in three stunning locations. Each evening offers a unique musical journey with a shared purpose: to remind us that classical music still has the power to resonate deeply across generations and borders.
