Soweto Gospel Choir

Thu 17 Sep 7:30pm at Symphony Hall
Two time Grammy Award winners, Soweto Gospel Choir return to the UK with a programme featuring choir and audience favourites from the past six years. The choir is made up of diverse cultures and faiths, and as such, will be performing in several different languages – Xhosa, Sotho, Zulu and English. It is this diversity which makes South Africa and its music and dance, so exciting.
Expect earthy rhythms, rich harmonies, energetic percussion and a touch of humour. Add to this, dynamic dancing and vibrant, colourful costumes, and the mix is explosive. This young dynamic choir performs both traditional and contemporary music, adding its own unique feel and interpretation to both.
