(Kearsney
College Choir’s folklore group)
Kearsney College Choir will present Indumezulu: A Celebration of Voices on
June 20, 2019.
Billed as a fabulous evening of rich voices
and diverse song, Indumezulu: A Celebration
of Voices will celebrate 25 years of South African energy, marking the
historic year in which South Africa’s first democratic election was held. It
also marks the year in which Kearsney College’s acclaimed choir was born.

The school’s choir will entertain, together
with some of its distinguished old boy musicians – including Seb Goldswain who
opened for George Ezra when he toured South Africa and Jono Johansen, a
finalist in The Voice South Africa’s first
season. Both have carved their careers in the music industry.
Other participating old boys include a
doctor on international cruise liners, a music law lawyer, a sports scientist
and winner of London’s Eltham College music contest and possibly a former
international rugby star. The music will vary from instrumental and classical
to folklore, pop and massed choir numbers.
There will also be guest appearances at
this one-night-only celebration from Angela Stevens, founder of the choir and
Kearsney’s director of music from 1994 to 2008, as well as Bernard Kruger,
Kearsney’s dynamic choir master from 2009 to 2015.
The Kearsney College choir is synonymous
with vibrant, energetic performances and slick, professional productions. Under
the baton of current director of music Marshell Lombard, with its signature
blend of classical, pop and indigenous music, it has built up a large
international following and has won 15 gold and seven silver medals at the
World Choir Games (the Olympics for Choirs) since 2000.
Bookings are through Quicket.
