Kenja Spectacular: Sydney

The Kenja Spectacular is a weekend event held in Sydney during October. It features a public lecture, a Prizewinners’ Concert (showcasing the best of the recent Kenja Eisteddfod) and a one day workshop.

Kenja Christmas

Every year, all of the Kenja centres host a range of Christmas activities to celebrate the season. These include Carols by Candlelight, a performance of excerpts from Handel’s Messiah and a Kenja Christmas Pantomime (using the Klowning training). These are public events held free of charge (or at minimal cost in the case of the Pantomime, to cover expenses), forstering community spirit and friendship at an important time of year for many Australian families.
