Kearsney College Choir

Nelson Mandela’s legacy

South Africa celebrates 30 years of democracy in 2024 - and Hamburg celebrates with it! The Kearsney College Choir from Durban (South Africa) will take the Elbphilharmonie by storm! It has been an example of lively, swinging one-off performances and perfect productions for 103 years now. The young choristers have a large following worldwide and have already performed with great success in the USA, Austria, Switzerland, China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore and of course Germany. With great pride, the Kearsney College Choir believes in the legacy of Nelson Mandela, who became South Africa’s first democratically elected black president 30 years ago in 1994: »Music is a great gift. It has the power to uplift and liberate us. It enables us human beings to dream. Music unites us to sing with one voice.«
