Even though the Covid-19 pandemic has put a dampener on gatherings for school extramural activities, it has not gotten in the way of putting together stunning virtual performances from the Curro Aurora choir.
“This year has most certainly presented its challenges in many different forms. One thing that all but disappeared was our extracurricular programme. For a long time during lockdown months, not only were we at home, but our fields were empty and our halls were silent,” said Curro Aurora’s Mageshree Tandree.

She added that thanks to choir conductor Johan Bester and his team, their high school choir kept going.
“Every Monday at 5.30pm, Zoom meetings were joined by the choir members. The most amazing thing, even though they were not in a hall or laughing at something from that day at school, every learner joined the meeting with a smile.”
Their choir remained dedicated throughout lockdown and ultimately managed to put together a beautiful compilation of You Say by Lauren Daigle.
Each performance was individually recorded at home.
“The process was a long one with many repeats until perfect. This stunning song premiered last Sunday evening and brought a tear to many an eye. It reminds you of how powerful, strong and resilient our youth truly are. Take a few minutes and see for yourselves.”
