The Ghana National Music Festival was created to fulfill two major needs: the promotion of artistic development in Ghana's youth and the cultivation of international relations between American and Ghanaian musicians. The festival is free to all accepted students and held at the University of Ghana's Department of Music. 

​

Educators from institutions in the United States partner with musicians of the University of Ghana and the Ghana National Symphony Orchestra to provide a rare opportunity for young Ghanaian students to be immersed in classical music pedagogy for a week of intense performance and academic training.
