The summer auditions for the Bloemfontein Children’s Choir (BCC) for 2024-’25 will be held on Wednesday, 31 January.
New members can look forward to performances in South Africa, as well as an European tour in 2025.
In 2023, the choir performed at the first National Conductors Convention in Cape Town.
The BCC was the only children’s choir in the country to be invited to perform at this prestigious event.
The BCC also had a memorable tour to Kimberley and an absolute highlight in concluding the year with a performance with the Drakensberg Boys Choir in December.
The choir toured to Europe in 2022, visiting countries like Belgium, France and Germany, with an exceptional performance at Euro Disney.
Werner Stander, director, said the choir captivated audiences all over and received standing ovations everywhere.
In 2024 the choir will undertake a coastal tour, performing with the South Cape Children’s Choir, the Tygerberg Children’s Choir and the Cape Town Children’s Choir.
“We are also looking forward to church performances, recordings, gala concerts and a performance with the Free State Symphony Orchestra,” Stander said.
He said the BCC was planning its international tour to Europe in 2025.
