The first Sama International Choral
Festival 2023 will take place from 24th to 30th July 2023 under the auspices of the Muslim Choral Ensemble. This residency will be a collaboration of both local
and international artists in Sri Lanka, to curate a series of performances,
events, and opportunities to engage through culture-sharing and collective
music-making sessions. This is a bold next step in bringing together Muslims
and non-Muslims to engage in various unique choral traditions from around the
world and breathe new life into this genre of choral music.
