Arts To End Genocide (ATEG), a New Bern not for profit will be presenting the 3rd Annual Global Music Festival. This is a free event and our gift to the New Bern community.

This year the festival will again present a diverse mix of music representing many cultures. It will feature Pantasia a steel band, Los Sabrosos del Sol, the popular Latin group, African dance lessons by SUAH African Dance and Hindu dances by Soulful Sisters.

This is an opportunity for everyone in our community to experience a time of unity and share the spirit of brotherhood through music and dance.

The African Children’s Choir is marking over four decades of transforming lives through the power of music, education and hope. As they embark on a tour of more than 100 cities, the Choir will continue to captivate audiences with their heartwarming performances with a show that blends traditional hymns and African cultural sounds, while sharing stories of God’s faithfulness through joyful worship.
Comprised of children ages 9 to 12, all from vulnerable backgrounds across Africa, the African Children’s Choir serves as a powerful testament to the resilience and potential of Africa’s future leaders. Each child in the Choir has faced significant hardship, often with limited access to education. Yet, through the Choir, these children gain life-changing opportunities for education and personal growth, becoming beacons of hope for their communities.
“The African Children’s Choir proves just how powerful music can be,” says Choir Manager, Tina Sipp. “These concerts not only provide hope and encouragement to our audiences, but they offer the children life-changing experiences that help shape them into future leaders.”
The Choir invites communities to experience their performances and be part of their mission to bring hope through music. No tickets are required, though donations are appreciated to continue the Choir’s impactful work.
