This choir of 80 young singers (ages 17-26) from 33 countries join together for one month every year to prepare for their tour. This year it is South Africa's turn to host them and Cape Town was the first of 10 concerts over 10 days in the country.
The two photos show the contrast between the two parts of the programme. The first part being classical music, which was technically superb, but rather serious. The second part was a wide range of traditional African songs, in five tribal languages, plus Afrikaans. It was full of life and energy, with much dancing and smiling, and I think they really enjoyed it. You can guess which half we enjoyed the most too.
I videoed several of the songs and was hoping to import a small clip into the blog, but it doesn't look as though I will be able to do that, so I hope the still photo conveys something of the vitality of the second half of the programme.
