Different backgrounds. Different languages. Different cultures. But when the children of the Junior Rosa Choir came together, they all sang from the same song sheet.
Established in October 2015 as an initiative of the Cape Cultural Collective, the choir brought together around 25 children from communities across Cape Town, including Langa, Manenberg and Gugulethu.
The aim was to do more than teach children to sing. It was to build confidence, encourage friendships and create a sense of belonging through a shared love of music.
With a repertoire that included traditional songs in Afrikaans, isiXhosa and English, the young choristers celebrated the diversity of their backgrounds while discovering everything they had in common.
The choir also gave children opportunities to perform in public, develop their talents and experience the joy of making music together.
Recognising the value of this initiative, Proud Partners contributed R20,000 towards supporting the choir and its activities.
Because sometimes the most beautiful thing about a choir isn't how many voices it has.
It's how wonderfully they come together.
