Since 1936.
Christ the King Church Choir, Kampala, has been in service at Christ the King Parish since 1936. At the time of inception, the Choir Director was Mr. S. Lobo assisted by Choirmaster, Mr. Remy de Silva. The Choir mainly comprised of the Goan community with only four Ugandan members, one of whom was the late Valerian Mayega.
In 1961, a good number of choir members including the Choirmaster and Director, left the country leaving Ugandans to take up the task of re-building the Choir. Mr. A.D. Lubowa became the Conductor of the Choir with late Valerian Mayega as his assistant. Late Mr. Mayega served as Music Director and Chief Organist until he died in 1991 while Mr. AD Lubowa retired as Conductor in 1995.
Prior to his death, Mr. Mayega had groomed a younger conductor, Mr. Mberenge Patrick, who worked closely with him and later took over as Music Director. Mr. Mberenge served as Music Director from 1991 to 2008. Currently, he is the music Technical Advisor of the Choir. Mr. Mberenge handed the mantle of Director to Mr. Sekyewa Louis, who served until 2016. The Choir is now ably directed and instructed by Mr. Mugesera Dominic with Mr. Dennis Miiro, as assistant organist. The Choir is endowed with many musically talented young men and women who assist the Music Director from time to time.
