Operanauts Fete for Young Musicians in Kinshasa

Operanauts hosted a screening of a one act opera for young musicians and choir members in Kinshasa. The video montage by Joslin Lebela documents the highlights. The purpose of the event was to inspire and provide the opportunity for youth to make music for each other, to see the opera stream together, and bring in the New Year with a music celebration of hope. The event was a music meeting place, a space of community and togetherness for young musicians during these difficult times of scarcity and isolation.
