Kathy Kiragu to Launch Groundbreaking Orchestral Worship Experience on Mental Health

Tuesday, October 29, 2024 — Kenyan artist and mental health advocate Kathy Kiragu is set to host a first-of-its-kind event in Nairobi: the Orchestral Worship Experience. This highly anticipated concert, scheduled for Sunday, November 3, 2024, will merge the power of orchestral music with a mission to spark open conversations about mental health and create a supportive community for those affected.

A Concert with Purpose: Why Orchestral Worship Matters

The Orchestral Worship Experience is far more than a music event—it’s an innovative platform for breaking the stigma around mental health, a topic often misunderstood or ignored. Kathy Kiragu, both the driving force and a key arranger behind the production, brings her own experiences with mental health to the project, aiming to inspire understanding and empathy.

The event is built around three central goals:

• Breaking the Silence
  Mental health challenges often remain hidden in silence, with those affected fearing judgment or misunderstanding. Through music and storytelling, the Orchestral Worship Experience aims to break down these barriers, encouraging open dialogue and cultivating a culture of support and empathy.
• Inspiring Resilience
  Kathy Kiragu’s journey with mental health struggles, including her recovery from a period of depression, serves as a source of strength and inspiration. Her vision for this concert is a testament to the power of resilience, showing audiences that it’s possible to overcome challenges and find a supportive community along the way.
• Driving Long-Term Impact
  The concert is only the beginning. Beyond the event, Orchestral Worship will include a podcast series and a documentary focused on mental health, furthering its mission of raising awareness and sparking positive change.
