Songs of Praise 2018 this Sunday
Make sure you get to the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk before 15:00.
MBOMBELA – With three choirs, a word-class conductor and beautiful instruments, this year’s Songs of Praise is back to inspire Lowvelders to sing along with jubilant hymns.
The festival is back at the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk on August 26 and will start at 15:00. As usual, the world-famous Richard Cock will lead the show and will be supported by local organist Tobias Kruger. The Lowveld Community Orchestra and Braam van Tonder are once again part of the programme.
Cock is chairman of the Apollo Music Trust, and with Florian Uhlig, he directs the Johannesburg International Mozart Festival, which is held every January. The Laudate Choir will be the anchor choir of the show. They recently received a silver medal at the World Choir Games (WCG) in Pretoria.

The other two choirs will be the Lydenburg Hoërskool choir, under the leadership of Suzaan Bronkhorst, and the NWU-Puk choir under the leadership of Kobus Venter. The latter walked away with two gold medals at the WCG.
These musical superstars will all come together to create a spectacle of music in praise of the Lord. Tickets are available at the church or at Mopani Pharmacy.
Tickets cost R100 for adults and R80 for senior citizens or children under the age of 13. This event is not to be missed.
