POLOKWANE – Inmates from the Polokwane Correctional Centre were treated to a performance by a group of musicians from various countries on Wednesday.
Village Harmony is a choir that consists of people from South Africa, Russia, the US, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and Holland.
It is the umbrella organisation for a diverse range of choral, world music and harmony singing activities under the direction of Larry Gordon and Patty Cuyler.
According to Cuyler, unlike choirs where the aim is to have a membership whose voices blend seamlessly, Village Harmony is composed of ad-hoc, non-auditioned, inclusive groups whose basic demand of would-be members is that they be committed to making good music and not hold back.
Offenders from Modimolle and Polokwane correctional centres’ choir, as well as the correctional services personnel choir also gave joyous performances.
