Toronto, Ontario – The exciting and dynamic Soweto Gospel Choir
returns to Toronto for two
 performances only on December 17 and
18, 2008 at Massey Hall. The performances are presented by The Sony
Centre for the Performing Arts.
Two-time Grammy® Award-winning Soweto Gospel Choir
thrilled sold-out audiences on each of their previous visits in
2005 and 2007. Their first North American Christmas tour is not
to be missed – these return performances will include their newest
holiday offerings as well as traditional favourites!
Expect earthy rhythms, rich harmonies, a cappella numbers as well
as accompaniment by an exciting four-piece band and percussion section.
Add energetic dancing and vibrant, colourful costumes, and the mix
is awesome. The Choir performs in six of South Africa’s 11 official
languages.
The popular Choir has made its mark on the international stage performing
with such luminaries as Bono, The Eurythmics, Jimmy Cliff and many
others. They have also performed for Nelson Mandela. Often referred
to as the "Voices from Heaven", the Choir reaches across cultural
boundaries and each performance is uplifting, exhilarating and thrilling.
