The infectious sounds, vibrant rhythms and renowned vocal harmonies of the SOWETO GOSPEL CHOIR will fill the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts with their brand new show African Grace for two nights only, February 24 and 25, 2012.
Originally created to share the joy of faith through the inspirational power of African Gospel music, the SOWETO GOSPEL CHOIR has been heralded as the most exciting group to emerge in World Music in recent years. A two-time Grammy and Emmy Award-winning choir, their spectacularly joyful performance style has made them a worldwide phenomenon, performing to sell-out crowds at the greatest concert halls across the globe and alongside superstars including Bono, Queen, Celine Dion, John Legend, Peter Gabriel, Josh Groban, Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder.
Hailed by The New York Times as ‘Meticulous and unstoppable…spirited and spectacular”,
the SOWETO GOSPEL CHOIR’S 24 singers, dancers and musicians deliver a flawless performance of traditional and contemporary songs infused with the irrepressible spirit of Africa. “These absolutely thrilling singers need nothing but their voices to make dazzling music.” Billboard
