The
Clermont Choir Foundation presents H O M E which stands for Holistic
Occupational Music Enterprise. H O M E was launched this year in September at
the Playhouse at a successful well-attended concert. They will present an
evening of music and celebration at the Pinetown Catholic Church on November 29.
Founded
towards the end of last year, the group came about when composer and conductor Phelelani
Mnomiya joined forces with the leader of the Clermont Choir Foundation, Wiseman
Mkhize, who wanted to explore the entrepreneurial possibilities in the choral,
gospel, popular music and operatic sectors of music.
H O M E is
made up of 25 talented singers from Durban and surrounding areas, mostly
members of the Clermont Community Choir. Some of the members are opera students
while others are music graduates. All have one aspiration: to make music work
for them.
The
concert promises to entertain and enrich audience’s listening pleasure. The
concert master will be Brian Mnyandu and the conductor is Phelelani Mnomiya.
Featured in the concert will be a large variety of styles and vast composers.
Commenting
on the concert, the Executive Producer of this production Wiseman Mkhize said:
“The Clermont Choir Foundation is proud to host this spectacular concert in
Pinetown. The ensemble is very versatile and appeals to all age groups. It also
brings the Foundation great pleasure to be able to bring such a prestigious
event to Pinetown Catholic Church, a place of praise and worship. Therefore we
urge everyone to come and celebrate the triumphs of 2013 in song with us. Those
that have also experience some tribulations will also be fulfilled. Music unites
so come along and be united with us.”
