Event information
The popularity of performances in Johannesburg and Cape Town have gone on to become annual engagements on the touring calendar of South Africa’s much-loved choristers, the Ndlovu Youth Choir.
Their sell out performances in 2021 resulting in sold out SA tours in 2022 and 2023 are testament to the love, support and admiration by local fans. Showtime Management announces the return of Ndlovu Youth Choir and the addition of two performances in each city in South Africa. The Ndlovu Youth Choir’s SA Tour kicks off with six performances in Johannesburg in 2024, with another six in Cape Town in early 2025.
The Choir’s 2024 repertoire includes many brand-new numbers such as one of the world’s most recognised songs, 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. “We bring this iconic song to Africa by infusing the original Queen melody with local genres” says conductor, composer and producer, Ralf Schmitt.
The South African medley, with its unique Ndlovu flavour, honours SA music legends Johnny Clegg, Sipho Hotstix, Mango Groove, Mandoza and Kurt Darren. The Choir also makes history, performing 'What a Wonderful World', using sign language and low-frequency bass sounds to make this much-loved song extra special for members of the deaf community.
The local performances also still feature several of the Choir’s famous hits such as 'Africa', 'Higher Love' and 'We Will Rise'. With a setlist featuring both fan favourites and many new songs, the fifteen choristers and live three-piece band are ready to bring new life to this year’s local tour.
