An Afternoon of Bach

On Sunday, 3 April, at 4pm, the Choir performed Bach’s Magnificat  and Cantata 140 Wachet Auf in the Bishops Chapel.

It was quite a while since the Choir had sung Bach but the success of the incredible hard work put in by the Musical Director, Alex Fokkens and the choir members, was evident in the audience response to the performance. It was a wonderful afternoon of music in beautiful surroundings.

The soloists, Maudee Montiere, Minette Du Toit Pearce, Sunnyboy Dladla and Conroy Scott all gave excellent perfomances.
