A Beacon of Sacred Harmony

Aurora Chorale, aptly named from the Latin for “Dawn Choir,” graces the 7:30 AM Mass at St. Paul’s Catholic Chapel in Nairobi with its harmonious presence. Established three years ago, this ensemble has become an integral part of the chapel’s liturgical life, offering a blend of traditional hymns and contemporary compositions that resonate with congregants and online audiences alike.​

Bridging Tradition and Innovation

Under the direction of Richard Njoroge and conductor Elijah Adongo, Aurora Chorale has expanded its reach beyond the chapel walls through its YouTube channel. Here, viewers can experience performances like “Psalm 24: The Lord of Hosts” and the “Easter Triduum Responsorial Psalms,” which showcase the choir’s commitment to musical excellence and spiritual depth.​

Collaborative Celebrations

Aurora Chorale’s versatility is evident in its collaborations, such as the “In Love with Music” concert with Strathmore University Chorale. This event, inspired by C.S. Lewis’s “The Four Loves,” featured a diverse repertoire spanning classical pieces by Mozart and Bizet to Kenyan favorites like “Daima Mkenya” and “Malaika.” Such performances highlight the choir’s ability to connect with audiences through both sacred and secular music.​

Engaging a Global Audience

Aurora Chorale’s digital presence allows it to share its music with a worldwide audience. Through carefully curated videos and thematic collections, the choir invites viewers to partake in Nairobi’s rich choral tradition, fostering a sense of community and spiritual reflection.​
