Pachedu is the annual fall concert featuring the Department’s ensembles. Pachedu means “among ourselves” in the language of Zimbabwe’s Shona people and is our opportunity to share repertoire, new dance, and music in development. Each ensemble is unique, and these concerts offer audiences a diverse experience in genres.
