Celestial Chorale Uganda (CCUg) has continued to demonstrate its ethos of top-notch concert artistry following its exciting musical performance at Theatre La Bonita in Kampala on November 30, 2025.

During the evening show dubbed Celestial Xperience, the youthful choir treated its fans to an extensive music repertoire, which comprised hymns by native Ugandan composers, classical pieces and the Gregorian-inclined melodies of the White Fathers.

The choir also performed contemporary Gospel songs, mainly from Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa and West Africa.

They also performed several secular songs from across the globe. They further performed Negro Spirituals from the US. Most of the songs were re-arranged renditions.

The choir’s budding concert-artistes were at their best as they performed James Ssewagudde’s Kwekusiima Kwange, Okwagala Ebintu (Eschatos Brides), Ssekukkulu (Eschatos Brides), Kwa Jina la Baba, Mmunyenye Y’okunnyanja (White Fathers), Maria Muggulu (White Fathers) and My God is Faithful, a dynamic and vibe-rich praise and worship song by the celebrated Ghanaian composer James Varrick Armaah.

Some of you are from Fort Portal, Mbarara, Masaka, Jinja, and other parts of Uganda. Thank you for your love and generosity. We shall endeavour to maintain the standards,” Muyomba said.

By the time the concert ended, the fans were still yearning for more.
