Chinese folk instrumentalists and vocalists will perform "Golden Bell Resounds · Harmony Along the Silk Road", a 70-minute concert, in the Main Auditorium of the Kenya National Theatre in Nairobi at 19:00 on Saturday 14 November 2026. TheatreKe, which sells tickets for the Kenya International Theatre Festival (KITFest), lists the show as an instrumental and vocal music production from China.

Single-show tickets come in three tiers: Advance at KES 850, Student at KES 350 and Couple at KES 1,500, sold on the TheatreKe event page.

TheatreKe also sells festival passes that cover several shows. The Day Pass costs KES 2,000 and covers all paid performances on a chosen festival day. The Pick & Mix (Curated 5-Show) Pass costs KES 4,800 for any five paid performances. The Week Pass costs KES 7,000 for every paid show in a chosen festival week, and the Season Pass costs KES 13,000 for all paid shows from 4 to 15 November 2026.

The event page says the concert was created for China-Africa cultural exchange in 2026. It uses music to depict Chinese landscapes, the country's different ethnic cultures and friendship between continents, and the pieces are tailored to African audiences, with no prior knowledge of Chinese culture needed.

The Beijing Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Beijing Musicians Association are the co-hosts. The China Performing Arts Agency (CPAA) presents the concert.

Artists from the Inner Mongolia Art Theatre performed at the same theatre on 17 July 2025 as part of the 2025 China-Kenya Culture and Tourism Season, Xinhua reported on 18 July 2025.
