    Lets's take a moment to notice how expressive they are and how they smile instead of being poker faced. It really adds to the joy produced by this beautiful piece. It is never disappointing to hear this group. Such talented singers and beautiful people. Bravo! :)

      One smart choir director I know pointed out that singing is a visual art. Maybe an oversimplification, but the visual aspect makes an impact on the listener. And when singers are physically and emotionally involved, not in a phony way, they sing better.

      I used to join a choir: when you smile while singing high notes you are going to reach them better. Our director always told us to smile while singing and it sounds much better when you do it.

      I've been in a lot of choirs and it's usually up to the director to teach and tell the participants that expressions are a must. I wish more directors would teach this. Otherwise it's up to each choral member to really feel the music and show expression.

    What a gift, to hold such a service to Life, to God(dess), to Earth and the Universe - to the Heart and the Essence of (Wo)Man. What a big and worthy "Thank You" for being and loving and achieving. What a Prayer. What a bath in frequencies. What an initiation to students - to give their all in life. What a blessing. Thank you, André - and choir. This truly points to and aims at the realm above us, where we are all hopefully headed - be it the next and better level for us to climb - or true heaven. And it tells us: Yes! We can go there! We belong there! Let's go! Together!

    Ek kan nog steeds nie glo ek was deel van hierdie koor nie! It was a privilege to sing in this choir! Miss it so much! #USK2016

    Seriously guys, what are you made of? Angels? Whatever you sing turns into a golden buzzer worthy performance! Everyone gives it their all, including their soul. It gives me chills. Beautiful! If you are ever touring the West coast of USA, count on me to pay you my respect in person.

    This is so so amazing. Their dressing is lit😁😁😁. This is so natural no instruments. In deed the human voice is the most powerful instrument.
