Choral Celebration Network Foundation
Bio
CCNF is a UNESCO partnered Public Benefit Organisation that has been involved in the choral industry in South Africa for the past 6 years. CCNF celebrates the diverse choral landscape through non-competitive, neutral, and inclusive performance opportunities, which created a solid foundation for progress and growth.
We are extremely excited to explore support to the orchestra fraternity in South Africa and have created a platform called CCNF Prestige Concert Series (PCS) to support and expand our offering to orchestras of all sorts. The main objective is to engage with as many orchestras as possible with the firm focus on the special international project that we will bring to South Africa in 2026.
We have largely achieved our objective to improve performance standards and facilitate performance opportunities, especially in the rural areas for choirs. The opportunity of hosting the SUMMA CUM LAUDE Youth Music Festival in South Africa in 2026 and the realization that the standard of orchestras might need some development has expanded our focus from 2025 onwards to include the development of youth orchestras, conductors and audiences through events that grow their exposure and standards of performance to align with those nationally and internationally.
