About the Performers
Soweto Gospel Choir was formed to celebrate the unique and inspirational power of African Gospel music. The 26-strong choir, under the direction of David Mulovhedzi and Beverly Bryer, draws on the best talent from the many churches in and around Soweto, South Africa.
The choir is dedicated to sharing the joy of faith through music with audiences around the world. Expect earthy rhythms, rich harmonies, a capella numbers, as well as accompaniment by an exciting four-piece band and percussion section.
This young dynamic choir performs both traditional and contemporary music, adding its own unique flavor and interpretation to both. The choir performs in six of South Africa's eleven official languages, and rouses and moves all who hear it.
