Reflecting Back...

On May 16, 2016, we launched the first public presentation of our project. Many of you lent us your enthusiasm, artistry, and support. “Zenkora: A Brief History”, was a multi-media concert which showcased original orchestra music, dance, animation, drama, art, and poetry inspired by this fictional universe. The initiative of combining various art forms with the genres of fantasy and science-fiction sparked a uproar of curiosity from our audience.

The concert was a deeply touching and memorable evening for us, a success that marks the first step towards realizing our dream.

Looking forward...

For our next project, we are planning to expand into launching a two-day convention event this summer in Calgary, Canada, which features not only multi-media concert(s) but also various creative panels and workshops. We're in the initial stages of working towards this vision. 

Meanwhile, our artists are constantly building on the world of Zenkora, expanding storylines, and creating new works of art and music. Stay tuned! 

Thank you again for your time and support, this initiative would not be possible without such a passionate and dedicated audience. Please help us share our story with your friends and family. We sincerely hope you continue to follow us on this journey!
