MUSICAL CELEBRATION:

Leef Jou Lied is back — and it’s bigger, bolder, and more breathtaking than ever.

Head to the Hoogland Dutch Reformed Church at 6.30pm on Friday August 15 for a citywide musical celebration that will lift your spirit and stir your soul.

After the phenomenal success of the debut event in November 2024 (featuring the dazzling Zanne Stapelberg), legendary tenor Jannie Moolman will be this year’s extraordinary star guest.

Gracing the stage alongside Moolman will be the vibrant voices of Cantando at Algoa, Hemiola Kamerkoor, and the dynamic In Praise Ensemble.

These acclaimed local choirs will join forces with a majestic 40-piece symphony orchestra, conducted by the brilliant Dr Leonard Heydenrych, creating a soundscape as grand as the occasion itself.

Heart-stopping classical masterpieces, music from well-known musicals, electrifying choral power and goosebump-inducing singalongs can be expected — all culminating in a musical experience that promises to resonate long after the final note fades.
