The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) has launched a choir group to promote choral music in the country.
The group, dubbed Revenue Choir, is made up of staff from the various divisions of the Authority.
It is the latest musical group established by the Authority following the exploits of the GRA Custom’s Regimental Band.
Launching the group in Accra on July 27, Executive Director of Salt and Light Ministries, Joyce Aryee commended the GRA for creating the platform for the staff to exploit their passion and talent for singing.
She explained that, choral music offered the staff the opportunity to share their talents with Ghanaians and the world at large.
She advised the members to strive for commitment, discipline and excellence to make the group successful.
“In order to succeed, you must incorporate some values into your operations. Commitment, excellence and discipline must guide all your actions and doings. These values will make you standout.
You’re singing for God and so you must demonstrate the admirable qualities of God. You’ve joined the choral group out of your own evolution, therefore your actions must contribute to its success,” Dr Aryee stated.
The choral music group, she said, could only realise its potential if it embarks on initiatives that would be relevant, both in Ghana and beyond.
She noted that, one of the key strategies that would ensure the group’s success was for members to educate themselves on music notes and other aspects of choral music production.
Dr Aryee said it was time for Ghana to take advantage of its choral music abilities to push that genre of music across the continent.
“You’re well-placed to do more for this genre. Let’s use this music to touch the heart of people in Ghana and beyond,” she added.
Commissioner General of GRA, Rev. Dr Amishaddai Owusu-Amoah, said the togetherness and cohesiveness of the group reflect the current status of GRA which was effectively putting in place measures to raise revenue for national development.
He advised the group to demonstrate the values of GRA in their operations and use their activities to further the Authority’s activities.
“Let’s work as a team to excel in everything we do. Exhibit professionalism, creativity, innovativeness and allow members to unearth their talents,” he added.
Alex Appiah Ackah, the Choir Master, pledged that the group would operate an open environment that would enable all members to be creative and innovative to help achieve its goals.
Accra’s creative industry is preparing for one of the most ambitious film projects in recent Ghanaian cinema as award winning filmmaker Big Ghun and acclaimed media personality and producer Doreen Avio officially open auditions for their upcoming feature film, Scarlett Unveiled.
The highly anticipated auditions will take place on Saturday, May 23, 2026, from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM at MCB Studios, Lapaz Tabora, with actors of all ages invited to participate.
Presented by PB Studios Africa, Scarlett Unveiled is a bold and emotionally charged Ghanaian creative project.
The project is expected to resonate strongly with young audiences in Ghana and across the diaspora..
The production is being developed in collaboration with the Embassy of Switzerland in Ghana, which is supporting the project’s executive launch.
Renowned textile brand Woodin has also come on board as the official clothing partner, while MCB Studios is serving as a support partner for the audition process.
According to Big Ghun, known for directing internationally recognized projects such as Koro (One), Leaked, and Vibes the Movie, Scarlett Unveiled is designed to become a landmark cultural production that will travel from cinema screens to schools and global platforms.
Producer Doreen Avio, one of Ghana’s most respected media personalities and event hosts, says the project aims to discover both established and emerging actors who can bring authenticity and emotional depth to the story.
She added that “This is more than an audition,” the producers say. “It is an opportunity for talented individuals to become part of a one of a kind Ghanaian story with the potential to inspire audiences around the world.”
Interested participants are encouraged to come with a passport sized photograph and be prepared to showcase their talent and confidence before the casting team.
With an award winning creative team, respected institutional partners, and a story rooted in truth and transformation, Scarlett Unveiled is shaping up to be one of Ghana’s most significant cinematic undertakings in the coming year.
