Tygerberg Children’s Choir becomes festive
It’s time again for the highly acclaimed Tygerberg Children’s Choir’s very popular annual Christmas concerts. The choir celebrates its 38th year, and was crowned world champions in two categories at the 6th World Choir Games in Shaoxing, China during July this year. This major achievement catapulted the choir to the number 4 over-all position on the official Musica Mundi world ranking list for competition choirs.
The choir has, as usual, compiled a varied programme which will appeal to young and old. This year’s concert is entitled ‘The World Was Made Flesh’ and promises once again to be a spectacle of sound and light. Favourites such as Agnus Dei, O Holy Night, Mary’s Boy Chile, I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas, Santa Claus is Comin’ To Town, Christmastime and Leise Rieselt der Schnee can be heard. The concerts will also feature the superb vocal group The Voice of Angels, all members of Tygerberg Children’s Choir. Contributors: Marieta Bosman- Oosthuizen (soprano), Madri Gerber (violin) and Charl van Heyningen (narrator).
The choir has been under the baton of internationally respected conductor Hennie Loock since its inception, with Theresa Loock as accompanist.
