#ihlombe

Since 2009, more than 90 choirs from over 10 countries: • Collaborative concerts in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Soweto • New choral music from famous composers led by acclaimed conductors • Enthusiastic audiences at sold-out performances • Cultural immersion in safaris, sightseeing, local service projects “The largest international choral gathering in South Africa.” —Cape Times

Inspired by the Sān peoples of the Kalahari, one of the oldest continuous cultures on Earth, our 12th annual #Ihlombe! South African Choral Festival (July 17-24, 2020) will celebrate in song the myriad customs of humankind throughout the ages with "Beginnings." Learning from the past 200,000 years, while joyously looking toward our future together, we invite vocal groups the world over to share their #Origins, #Traditions, #Wisdom, #Rhythms and #Resilience. classicalmovements.com/ihlombe (at Classical Movements) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsvcUtAHx73/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u6pxmtfmu7kg
