The renowned Patmos Choir, a beloved Seventh Day Adventist Choir, is gearing up for a grand celebration of its 5-year milestone with a concert scheduled for November 25, 2023, at the Kigali Convention Center (KCC) starting at 17:00. This much-anticipated event promises an evening filled with various songs dedicated to praising God.
Tickets for the concert are now available for purchase, offering attendees the opportunity to secure their seats by dialing *797*30# and selecting Chorale Patmos along with their preferred seating. Joining Chorale Patmos in this joyous celebration of praise and worship are other popular choirs, Elevate and Echos du Ciel.
Preparations for this concert have been underway for more than three months, emphasizing the dedication and commitment of the Patmos Choir to deliver an unforgettable experience. In a recent media interview on October 31, choir members shared their excitement, highlighting that the event will showcase new and sacred songs that have gained international recognition for their ability to provide solace and comfort in diverse circumstances.
Beyond their musical endeavors, the Patmos Choir actively engages in charitable activities, including visiting the sick, collaborating on church construction projects, and participating in relief efforts. Reflecting on their journey, the choir's origin story is traced back to 1996 when students, originally from Congo, reunited in Rwanda after the Genocide against the Tutsis. Under the leadership of Jeannette, the choir emerged, eventually adopting the name "Patmos."
The name, suggested by Rusagara Josue, a choir member who owned a Papeterie named Patmos, holds a significant meaning. It stems from a fellow singer questioning, "We are in charge of God's work and we are in the last time of preaching about the end times. Chorale, why don't we call it Patmos? Isn't it written in the revelations?" Thus, the Patmos Choir was born, dedicated to serving God through their harmonious voices.
As the concert date approaches, the Patmos Choir extends a warm invitation to everyone to join in this beautiful evening of praise to God. Promising innovative surprises in both the preparation and performance, the choir aims to make this celebration a memorable and spiritually uplifting experience for all attendees.
