Cairo Celebration Choir
Open-knowledge reference entry
The Cairo Celebration Choir (CCC) was founded in 2000 by Nayer Nagui when Dr. Sobhi Bidair was the director of the Cairo Opera House Company at that time. The main idea of forming the choir was to perform a Christmas Concert with the Cairo Opera House soloists and orchestra in the annual Opera House Christmas Concert.
Its first Christmas Concert performed a repertory of Christmas songs adapted, orchestrated and arranged by Maestro Nayer Nagui. Since then the choir has grown in number comprising more than 120 members of diverse nationalities who are affiliated with numerous Cairo music academics and societies.
The Cairo Celebration Choir recorded Mozart’s Ave Verum conducted by Sherif Mohi ElDin as part of the Mozart CD selection of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina. The choir also sang a selection of musicals in the opening of the 30th Cairo International Film Festival in 2006. Many members of the Cairo Celebration Choir joined the A Capella Choir (Cairo Opera House Official Choir) in March 2006 for the performance of Gustav Mahler's Second Symphony known as the "Resurrection" under the baton of Gilbert Kaplan.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Cairo Celebration Choir” as open-knowledge reference entry. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as open-knowledge reference entry. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 31, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q5017748. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2000 and 2006.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
