The celebrated Swahili Baba Yethu will also be heard.
The work of other South African composers will be showcased, like Chris Lampbrecht with his art song Tsitsikama. Christopher Torr’s Stuur groete aan Mannetjies Rouxwill commemorate the wonderful Rugby World Cup year.
African folklore and, likewise, Japanese and American folk songs, will entertain listeners and the choir will charm the audience with Christmas music by Robbie Williams and Come Colours Rise by South African composer Grant McLachlan.
