The Denis Hurley Centre will present A Song for World Peace at Emmanuel
Cathedral on September 20.
The annual senior choir concert will this
year feature five schools from the greater Durban area.
They will be uniting to show their support
for the Denis Hurley Centre by presenting a special one-off early-evening
concert of much-loved sacred, popular and choral music. Participating schools
are: Thomas Moore Kloof, St Benedicts Pinetown, St Francis Mariannhill, and
Maris Stella Berea. The music will again be complemented by learners from
KwaThintwa School for the Deaf, which was founded by Archbishop Hurley.
The programme culminates with all choirs
joining in to sing en masse, the beautiful English folk song, Oh Shenandoah. Guest of honour this year
will be Monsignor Paul Nadal.
In 2012, a group of Grade 11 girls from
Maris Stella visited the projects at the Cathedral, and were so impressed by
the work with refugees, homeless and unemployed people, as well as those with
HIV/AIDS, that they decided to do something to help. So they approached other
schools in the greater Durban area to join them in a concert of sacred music.
Entry is free and all are welcome! A
collection will be taken for the Denis Hurley Centre. Safe parking behind the
Cathedral from 17h30. Tea will be on sale after the concert.
A
Song for World Peace will take place at Emmanuel
Cathedral on September 20 at 18h00. Bookings through Jean-Marie Ntamubano (jean-marie@denishurleycentre.org)
