Tygerberg Children’s Choir Performs “A Choral Flourish”

Описание: For 47 years the choir, based in Cape Town's Northern Suburbs and under the baton of internationally acclaimed conductor Hendrik D Loock with Theresa Loock as arranger and accompanist, has taken lovers of choral music on a very special musical journey. In May 2019, Mr Loock finally laid down his baton and a new choir leader, Karina Erasmus, was appointed along with a new accompanist, Marelize Koch. The choir regularly performs with great aplomb for heads of state, princes, kings and queens and is one of South Africa's proudest export products. The choir has won every major international choral competition since its inception in 1972 and its unsurpassed legato singing, maturity of sound, musical power and dynamic interpretation of very difficult material makes Tygerberg Children's Choir a foremost exponent in the world of international competition choirs. The choir has a vast legacy of excellent choral CDs as testimony of its prowess. In July 2010 year the choir was crowned World Champions and received gold medals in the Folklore and Music of the Religions categories at the 6th World Choir Games in Shaoxing, China. In 2012 the choir came second and won gold in the Children’s Choir division at the 7th World Choir Games in Cincinnati, USA. They also won a further two gold medals – in the Music of the Religions and Folklore divisions. And again in 2018, the choir did exceptionally well at the 10th World Choir Games in Tshwane, South Africa. They participated in a mammoth four categories and were crowned World Champions in two categories – the highly coveted Children’s Choirs division and the Musica Sacra with Accompaniment division. They achieved 3rd places in two further categories – Pop Choirs and Folklore with Accompaniment. In total they won four gold medals. Tygerberg Children’s Choir is currently the number one children’s choir in the world and holds the 4th position over all on the Interkultur World Rankings.
