Patrick Chordson Moore takes Ghanaian musical excellence to UK creatives
Ghanaian international musician, Patrick Chordson Moore, has been sharing more than music with creatives in the United Kingdom.
Through a workshop and concert series at Victory Centre International in London, the musician opened up his years of experience to UK-based vocalists, musicians and music directors, equipping them with skills he hopes will help take their craft to the next level.
The programme which will climax with a live concert by Chordson on September 4, 2026, is aimed at empowering and opening up opportunities for creatives seeking UK collaborations.
With nearly two decades of experience in the space, Chordson’s journey to London is more than taking to the stage; its about nurturing talents.
"My presence in London is not just to perform, but to contribute meaningfully to the UK creative industry, which is one of the most vibrant in the world," Chordson said.
"Over these five weeks, I have had the privilege of pouring my years of experience into UK creatives, sharing Ghanaian excellence and global best practices to empower them for the next level," he added.
The sessions focused on areas including live music direction, production, arrangement and performance, offering participants an opportunity to learn from an artiste whose career has been shaped by years of collaboration and musical production.
He has more than 50 artiste collaborations and numerous productions to his credit. Chordson has also built a career that has taken him from his emergence with the acclaimed PL Crew in 2009 to directing major musical productions.
He is also known for his work on the Oki Sekum Concert and for his albums, Kingdom Sound and Path to Peace.
However, for Chordson, the greatest value of experience lies in passing it on.
Teaming up with Victory Centre International for the engagement with creatives has become an opportunity to share not only technical knowledge but also the lessons gathered through years of working in the music industry.
Leaders of Victory Centre International say his contribution has already had a significant impact, inspiring participants to raise their standards and pursue excellence that can compete on the global stage.
Chordson believes the work should not end with the five-week programme.
He is now calling for broader partnerships involving institutions, churches, music schools and creative organisations across the UK.
"I am hopeful for bigger collaborations within the UK creative industry," he said.
"My goal is to partner with institutions, churches, music schools and creative organizations across the UK to create more platforms that will empower UK creatives, foster cultural exchange, and create opportunities for emerging talents to thrive professionally,” he added.
The vision is to turn the initiative into a lasting platform rather than a one-off event.
Together with Victory Centre International, Chordson hopes to repeat the experience at least twice each year.
The plan, he says, is to create room for wider collaborations across the UK while strengthening the creative connection between Ghana and the United Kingdom.
For the musicians, vocalists and music directors who have spent the past five weeks learning and creating, the programme represents more than a workshop.
It is a meeting of experience and ambition, of Ghanaian musical excellence and the aspirations of creatives looking for opportunities to grow.
And as Chordson prepares to take the stage for the September 4 concert, his larger message remains clear: talent can travel across borders, but its greatest impact may come when it creates opportunities for others to rise.
