The MAC (Milford Arts Council) and Pantochino Productions announce a very special Nite Spot Night event on November 6th at 8pm. The MAC, located at 40 Railroad Avenue South in downtown Milford CT, will be hosting The Moipei Triplets. The Moipei Triplets are from Nairobi, Kenya and currently reside in the U.S. Their musical journey began in Kenya Music Festival competitions with their sister Serafina. They were awarded 1st place honors for four consecutive years.
Their success has enabled them to showcase their talents to national and international audiences, taking part in various cultural festivals and conventions in Tanzania, Uganda, Canada, Venezuela, China and the United States of America.
After a successful tour of South Korea, representing their country during the Young People’s Festival (YoPeFe), the sisters, at the age of 12, were appointed Kenya’s first ever UNICEF Child Ambassadors. Through their musical talents they championed girl child empowerment, education, and alternative rites of passage.
Their notoriety grew in the Kenyan musical scene and they were appointed as the Kenyan Musical Ambassadors to attend the Second African Cultural Festival in Caracas, Venezuela. They performed in various historic theatres and opera houses including the Teatro Municipal de Caracas to sold out audiences.
They were awarded the Head of State Commendation (HSC), by the President of Kenya, His Excellency Mwai Kibaki in recognition of their outstanding contribution to the Music Industry and the Nation.
Their album “In the Land of the Lion,” won the 2011 Best of Africa category, at the prestigious South Africa Broadcasting Corporation Awards (SABC) held in Durban, South Africa. The Triplets have performed sold-out concerts at the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts, presenting an eclectic mix of their own arrangements of Broadway tunes, jazz hits, sacred pieces and Kenyan folk songs.
In 2017, they were featured in their first professional opera, Speed Dating Tonight with the Alamo City Opera company. The composer Michael Ching wrote an original piece for the Triplets titled ‘If not now when?’.
Additional highlights include, singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” to thousands of NBA fans at a Spurs Playoff game; presenting a program for the President of Kenya in the iconic Rainbow Room at the Rockefeller Center; and performing with the San Antonio Symphony at their Holiday Pops concert singing an arrangement of ‘Let it Snow,’ specially commissioned for the trio.
The Triplets opened Amarillo Opera’s 2019 “Black History Month” concert series receiving rave reviews for their performance. The trio performed a highly successful one- month tour of British Columbia, Canada.
Graduates of St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, Texas. Studied with Met Opera star, Mary Jane Johnson at the Taos Opera Institute.The Nite Spot Night series at the MAC offers an eclectic collection of unique musical performances by the hottest stars of New York City's cabaret scene.
Right on the Metro North train line in a repurposed train station in the heart of downtown Milford CT, these evenings are presented in a cabaret style listening room that has been called "the sweetest little venue along the Connecticut shoreline."
Easily accessible by car, bus, boat, foot, or train. It’s the closest you can get to the Milford train station on Metro North because it IS the train station.
