About the concert
On Monday 27 April 2026, on South Africa's Freedom Day, we performed our first concert under our own name. The performance was live-streamed from Cape Town at midday SAST. The recording is above.
What we sang
The performance brought together songs that have shaped our journey, songs that carry us forward, and one or two songs that had not been performed publicly before. There was an introduction from members of the choir. There was a moment of thanks to everyone who has stood with us. And then there was music — which, after all, is what we are here to do.
Thank you
To everyone who tuned in, who sang along, who shared the stream with someone who would love it, who has stood with us from the beginning — thank you. The choir is its voices, and the voices are stronger for being heard.
With thanks to 196 Victoria for hosting us, and to everyone there who made the room ready for the choir to sing.
