Gearing up for the annual Festive Season
concert simply titled Christmas, the
Drakensberg Boys Choir is ready to take to the Pietermaritzburg City Hall stage
on December 4, 2018.
Having recently won the 2018 World Choir
Games, this concert will see the Drakensberg Boys Choir, over 100 voices,
conducted by Artistic Director Bernard Krüger and Tobias Stückelberger on
stage. The choir will be accompanied by official accompanist Lubabalo Dyasi at
the console of the historic and much-loved City Hall organ, and at the piano. As
has become a Pietermaritzburg tradition, the audience will be invited to join
in the singing of carols.
In a performance of seasonal numbers, the
choir include O come, o come, Emmanuel, O
Holy Night, Silent Night and the rousing Afro-Renaissance Christmas Celebration.
The Christmas
concert takes place at 19h00 on December 4. There will be secure, patrolled
parking in the City Hall, Tatham Art Gallery and Bessie Head Library precincts
on the evening. Tickets are available online at ticketpros.co.za or at PayZone
at Parklane SUPERSPAR.
Christmas sponsored by Parklane SUPERSPAR in association with the City of
Pietermaritzburg, Music Revival, CPW Printers, and The Witness.
