Our Partners and Sponsors
The Choral, Opera, and Orchestral Music Federation of South Africa (COMFESA) has been the proud recipient of a three-year funding grant (2022-2024) from the National Department of Sports, Arts, and Culture. This funding arrangement has been a cornerstone in the realization of our vision: to host symposia across all nine provinces of South Africa, spreading the impact of choral music and its potential for economic and cultural enrichment throughout the nation.
