The choir has been contracted by the Scottburgh Methodist Church for a once-off concert which takes place at Scottburgh High on Sunday, September 8 at 2pm.
The Drakensberg Boys’ Choir School (DBCS) was established more than 50 years ago, in 1967, by John Tungay. It was created to prepare young boys for life and leadership through excellence in music, academic, physical development and social enrichment, in a Christian environment.
Located near Winterton, in the heart of the Drakensberg mountains, the boarding school uses choral music as a significant vehicle for holistic education.
The DBCS is a middle school aimed at boys eligible to attend grades 4 -7 and equips them with the necessary academic qualification and skills needed for their remaining three high school years.
They have performed in the USA and across Europe and even by Papal request at the Vatican City. Their programme includes choral, classical and rock music as well as an indigenous repertoire.
Thanks to generous sponsorship from the local business community in Scottburgh and Umzinto the concert has been made possible.
Tickets at R120 are available at the Scottburgh Methodist Church, phone 039 9783182 or 084 9112483. Cold drinks will be available both before the show and during the interval.
