Gauteng Choristers Human Rights Concert
Saturday Mar 21 19:00
27 St Andrews Rd, Parktown
The Gauteng Choristers, joined by a 53-piece orchestra perform two South African cantatas at Linder Auditorium. On Friday March 20 the choristers perform Ihubo 47 by Qinisela Sibisi, a seven-part Psalm that broadly narrates the church’s role in the fight against human oppression. Meanwhile, on Saturday March 21 there is a performance of Zizi Lethu, by Phelelani Mnomiya, a unique contemporary work which honours South Africa's freedom fighters and the invaluable contributions they made towards achieving South Africa's first democratic elections in 1994.
Conducted by Sidwell Mhlongo, both cantatas draw on the union of voices and orchestra and feature soloists Given Nkosi (tenor), Kamohelo Tsotetsi (baritone), Kananelo Sehau (tenor), Nombuso Ndlandla (soprano), Tsekiso Moloi (mezzo-soprano) and international sensation Kelebogile Besong (soprano).
