Chorale Christus Regnat, a renowned Rwandan Catholic choir, is set to celebrate its 20th anniversary in music ministry with a special concert dubbed "i Bweranganzo Concert" on November 29, 2026, at Hotel Sainte Famille in Kigali. The choir was founded in 2006 at Centre Christus in Remera, Kigali, with the goal of using music to spread the gospel and bring people closer to God.
Over the years, Chorale Christus Regnat has grown significantly, both in terms of membership and musical output. By 2022, the choir had around 100 members from different backgrounds and had released five music albums, with a sixth one in the pipeline. The choir has become known for its unique style of music, which blends traditional Rwandan melodies with modern harmonies and lyrics that praise God in various languages.
The choir's music ministry has not been limited to performing at church services; they have also organized concerts, collaborated with other artists, and established relationships with other choirs in Rwanda and beyond. One of their notable performances was at the Kigali Conference and Exhibition Village (KCEV) in 2019, where they shared the stage with French artist Jean-Claude Gianadda.
Chorale Christus Regnat's music ministry extends beyond just performing; the choir also engages in charitable activities. In 2024, their "i Bweranganzo" concert raised funds to support the "Dusangire Lunch" program, which aims to improve nutrition for students at schools. The funds collected were used to support students at Saint Joseph le Travailleur Secondary School (ESSJT), where the choir had been conducting rehearsals.
The upcoming "i Bweranganzo Concert" on November 29, 2026, promises to be a special event, as it coincides with the choir's 20th anniversary celebrations. The concert will feature some of the choir's most popular songs, as well as new ones, and will provide an opportunity for the choir to reflect on its journey and express gratitude to God for the past two decades.
According to the choir, their 20 years of music ministry have been a journey of growth, learning, and service to others. Chorale Christus Regnat's name, which means "Christ Reigns" in Latin, reflects its mission to use music to spread the gospel and bring people closer to God. The choir's music has touched the lives of many, and its 20th anniversary celebrations are expected to be a joyous occasion.
The "i Bweranganzo Concert" is scheduled to take place on November 29, 2026, starting at 6:00 PM at Hotel Sainte Famille in Kigali. Chorale Christus Regnat invites its fans, music lovers, and anyone interested in praising God through music to attend the event.
