The SOUTH AFRICAN YOUTH CHOIR was established in 2005 and is a first for the country. Members are auditioned nationally and accommodated in a hostel in Durbanville, Cape Town. All hostel members attend the Stellenberg High School and are provided with high quality education and music training.
In the true spirit of ubuntu the choir is a human project. Members reflect the true demographics of South Africa and celebrate unity within cultural diversity.
Since 2005 the choir has been developed into a unique musical product of international standard and won a gold diploma at the Llangollen International Eisteddfod in Wales in 2006. International media hailed the choir as a true export product of South Africa.
The choir is a dream come true. Many members come from disadvantaged areas and are orphans.
They are the raw talent of South Africa. The choir offers them a voice and hope.
They dare to dream.
Recent performances include:
- Women of the Year Awards 2007, featured on SABC 3
- International Rugby Test Series at Newlands
- International Order of Attorneys corporate function
- Llangollen International Eisteddfod in Wales
The SAYC frequently performs at Festivals, Private Functions, Corporate Functions, Wedding Receptions, Church Services, Public Events, Cultural Events, and Graduation Ceremonies etc. They are available as a full choir of 70 members (for large-scale performances and concerts), or as smaller ensembles (for weddings, functions etc.). Their repertoire ranges from serious Classical choral works to arrangements of traditional African music sung in Xhosa, Zulu & Afrikaans, as well as more popular options consisting of music by ABBA etc.
