The Choral Music Safari takes small groups into the homes of choir duos and trios in the city.

South Africa has a rich choral tradition. The most famous choral group is probably the Soweto Gospel Choir, who tour all over the world, sharing the evocative harmonies of our choral tradition.

The tour explores this tradition through two intimate concerts. Part one is dinner and a home concert, and part two is a nightcap in the home of a second choir group. We like to mix up traditions, with one of them being isiXhosa traditional and gospel inspired choral music, and the other focuses on the Cape Malay choral world. 

Some of the groups we work with include the Guguletu Gospel Stars, from Guguletu, and the Beystars Cape Malay Choir in Mitchells Plain.

Most dietary needs are catered to.
