More than 300 performers will be featured at the Creative Production and Training Centre's (CPTC) Festival of Drums and Voices at Emancipation Park on Thursday, December 17, starting at 6:30 p.m.

"This festival is really a free concert of the best in drumming and voices, through which we are saying thanks to the Jamaican people," said CPTC CEO, Angela Patterson. "It will be a spectacularly exciting evening suitable for the entire family. We expect the park to be full for that evening." Appearing on the festival will be L'Acadco, Drum Xplosion, Kingston Drummers, the Chinese Dragon Dance Group, the Carifolk Singers, National Chorale, Nexxus, Nomaddz, Michael Pinnock and several choirs, both singing and speaking, from high schools across Jamaica.

This festival is the latest activity in the year-long celebration of CPTC's 25th anniversary. CPTC is a multimedia production company with divisions involved in training, the Media Technology Institute, and cable casting, Creative Television. It has been a promoter and producer of cultural and artistic presentations since it was established.
