AUDITIONS FOR DRAKENSBERG BOYS CHOIR

The Drakensberg Boys Choir is searching South Africa, including Pietermaritzburg, for boys between the ages of nine and 14, with potentially great singing voices, to join the world’s best boy choir.

Worldwide there are a number of boy choirs, but the Drakensberg Boys Choir is unique in that it is the only choir school on the African continent: a boarding school that uses choral music as a significant vehicle for holistic education.

The school is nestled in one of the world’s major heritage sites, the mighty Okhahlamba Mountain range, and provides not only training and performances in choral, contemporary and pop singing but also African folklore music and choreographed movement.

The school allows boys the opportunity to experience a vibrant outdoor life with cycling, swimming and hiking, integral to the curriculum.

Audition details: Saturday, 31 October, 10am12 noon at Epworth High School (Pmb).

Boys will not need to prepare anything for their audition.

Founded in 1967, the mission of the Drakensberg Boys Choir School is to prepare boys for life and leadership through excellence in music, academics, physical development and social enrichment, in a Christian environment.
