Top choir to perform in Cape Town

For almost four glorious decades the choir, based in Cape Town's northern suburbs and under the baton of conductor Hennie Loock with Theresa Loock as arranger and accompanist, has taken lovers of choral music on a very special musical journey. The choir regularly performs for heads of state, princes, kings and queens and is one of South Africa's proudest export products. 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.
