A nation’s song, seventy years strong
The power of collective singing
As a cultural heritage, choral music reflects the histories, traditions and values of many cultures. It serves as a way to pass down stories and customs through generations, fostering a sense of community and teamwork. Choral music — sung by a choir with each part carried by two or more voices — is part of our heritage as Ghanaians.
Choral music is also a singular tourist attraction, unique among cultural offerings. Ghana, recognised for its legendary involvement in research and musical education through its universities and music schools, deserves to recognise those who sustainably devote their knowledge and energy to this artistic diversity.
This theme honours the voices that shaped Ghana’s past, the voices that define its present, and the voices that will carry it into the future.
