Calling on all young choral composers
09 April 2008
A nation’s heritage evolves constantly and in heeding this reality Sowetan and several nation- building partners are encouraging young choral music composers to test their talents and contribute their creative legacies.
So in celebration of the 20th yearly Massed Choir Competition the South African Music Rights Organisation (Samro) Endowment for the National Arts – with the organisers of the Transnet Foundation, SABC and Sowetan Massed Choir Festival – is calling on all up-and-coming South African choral composers to enter their work for a commemorative choral composition competition. Twenty
choirs, making up a formidable 1000-voice chorus, are due to perform the winning composition in
Johannesburg in November. [Full Post] [In reply to our inquiry concerning his role, South African
composer and choral conductor Mokale Koapeng tells AfriClassical: "Yes I am one of the two music
directors of the festival."]
