    This is the best choir in the world. What makes it even more spectacular is that it is a university choir, so member turnover is high, yet it continues to remain the best. Year after year.

      @@abubakrdevilliers2558 I agree 👍🏾 this is one of the most incredible choir masters in the world. 🙆🏻‍♀️
      I sang in my high school choir back in the 1970s here in New Zealand 🇳🇿 and we had a choir mistress of this calibre. We won local and regional competitions, and did some spectacular work as well.
      This choir is an absolute pleasure to listen to. The quality in all areas - vocal, artistic and technical is just stunning.

    Everyone, take a moment to appreciate the dad in the gray t-shirt in the second row who slept through the whole performance. We don't know who he is or where he came from, but we know that the soothing lullabies of the SU choir worked on him immediately and we love him for not holding back on his REM appreciation.

    Spend all your time waiting
    For that second chance
    For a break that would make it okay
    There's always some reason
    To feel not good enough
    And it's hard at the end of the day
    I need some distraction
    Oh a beautiful release
    Memories seep from my veins
    Let me be empty
    Oh and weightless and maybe
    I'll find some peace tonight
    In the arms of the angel
    Fly away from here
    From this dark cold hotel room
    And the endlessness that you fear
    You are pulled from the wreckage
    Of your silent reverie
    You're in the arms of the angel
    May you find some comfort here
    In the arms of the angel
    Fly away from here
    From this dark cold hotel room
    And the endlessness that you fear
    You are pulled from the wreckage
    Of your silent reverie
    You're in the arms of the angel
    May you find some comfort here
