Organis\u00e9 chaque ann\u00e9e \u00e0 l\u2019occasion des f\u00eates de No\u00ebl, \u00ab Christmas Carols \u00bb permet \u00e0 la chorale de partager son r\u00e9pertoire avec son public et de c\u00e9l\u00e9brer cette p\u00e9riode avec ses m\u00e9lomanes. L\u2019\u00e9dition 2026 rev\u00eatira une importance particuli\u00e8re, puisqu\u2019elle marquera six d\u00e9cennies d\u2019existence de la Chorale de Kigali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fond\u00e9e en 1966, la Chorale de Kigali a obtenu sa personnalit\u00e9 juridique en 1987, un statut renouvel\u00e9 en 2011. Elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 cr\u00e9\u00e9e par des passionn\u00e9s de musique ayant notamment \u00e9tudi\u00e9 dans des s\u00e9minaires et d\u2019autres \u00e9tablissements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parmi ses fondateurs figurent Saulve Iyamuremye, Matayo Ngirumpatse, Paulin Muswahili, Selesitini Nkaka, Heneriko Nzajyibwami et Sitanisilasi Karangwa, aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s de plusieurs autres membres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c0 ses d\u00e9buts, la chorale \u00e9tait exclusivement masculine. En 1987, elle a ouvert ses portes aux femmes, \u00e9largissant ainsi sa composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Au cours de ses six d\u00e9cennies d\u2019existence, la Chorale de Kigali a particip\u00e9 \u00e0 plusieurs \u00e9v\u00e9nements et c\u00e9l\u00e9brations majeurs au Rwanda. Elle a notamment assur\u00e9 des prestations lors de messes marquant certains \u00e9v\u00e9nements importants de l\u2019histoire du pays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elle a \u00e9galement chant\u00e9 lors des c\u00e9l\u00e9brations du jubil\u00e9 de Mgr Aloys Bigirumwami, le 3 juin 1978, \u00e0 l\u2019occasion de ses 50 ans de sacerdoce et de ses 25 ans d\u2019\u00e9piscopat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Un autre moment marquant de son histoire remonte \u00e0 la visite du pape Jean-Paul II au Rwanda. La Chorale de Kigali avait \u00e9t\u00e9 choisie par la Conf\u00e9rence \u00e9piscopale du Rwanda pour participer \u00e0 la messe c\u00e9l\u00e9br\u00e9e par le souverain pontife \u00e0 Nyandungu, le 10 septembre 1990. L\u2019\u00e9v\u00e9nement avait rassembl\u00e9 plus d\u2019un million de personnes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comme de nombreuses organisations rwandaises, la chorale a \u00e9t\u00e9 durement affect\u00e9e par le g\u00e9nocide perp\u00e9tr\u00e9 contre les Tutsi en 1994, plusieurs de ses membres ayant \u00e9t\u00e9 tu\u00e9s, tandis que d\u2019autres ont fui le pays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Les membres rest\u00e9s au Rwanda se sont ensuite mobilis\u00e9s pour reconstruire la chorale. Malgr\u00e9 les difficult\u00e9s rencontr\u00e9es, ils ont r\u00e9ussi \u00e0 relancer ses activit\u00e9s et \u00e0 lui permettre de retrouver progressivement sa place parmi les formations chorales importantes du pays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aujourd\u2019hui, la Chorale de Kigali compte plus de 150 membres et poursuit ses activit\u00e9s musicales, \u00e9tant consid\u00e9r\u00e9e comme l\u2019une des chorales les plus importantes et les plus anciennes encore actives dans le paysage musical rwandais.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
