Our Story

The Kenya International Cello Festival, now in its 3rd season, brings together musicians from across the world to collaborate, to create, and to perform throughout Kenya. In January 2024, faculty and students will settle into the beauty of the Tafaria Castle & Center for the Arts campus as they explore connection - to sound, to the senses, to the landscape around them, to each other, to their languages and gestures, to their ever expansive imaginations, and to their communities. The campus will be buzzing with ideas and carving sustainable and original pathways for participants to follow. KICF emboldens and shapes the inner worlds of its participants and leaves a lasting imprint on all involved.
