Music in the Mountains is a yearly festival featuring performances by the Drakensberg Boys’ Choir alongside other South African musicians. It is held over 4 days in a spectacular mountain setting, treating music lovers to a fabulous experience that combines natural beauty with natural talent.

Feel Good Factor: The Drakensberg Boys’ Choir Outreach Programme supports neighboring schools and local disadvantaged communities, helping to improve education at the Champagne Valley Primary School, Meadowsweet Combined School and Nkwethu Children’s Village in Loskop.

Since 1971, when Music in the Mountains had it premiere, the Drakensberg Boys’ Choir has been making beautiful music and entertaining thousands of music lovers from as far afield as the United States and the Far East.

Music in the Mountains, an annual 4-day concert festival, sees the choir performing in the spectacular Drakensberg mountains where their school is based.

The programme for this Drakensberg music festival features a mix of musical styles: classical, rock, pop, jazz, African, folk music and more, giving the boys a chance to display their range and skill.

The festival begins with a performance of highlights from the Drakensberg Boys’ Choir’s repertoire for 2012, including popular pieces from musicals as well as a selection of pop, classical and South African folk song standards. This is followed by a performance from visiting choirs and an evening show called Flip-a-Coin, where, using only voices, the group transforms itself into a live band.

During the following day, there are more concerts from visiting choirs and appearances by winners of national talent searches.

Music in the Mountains continues with a praise-and-worship session by a leading Christian band. In the evening, visitors can look forward to the Drakensberg Boys’ Choir performing in the final show of the event.

The Drakensberg Boys’ Choir is internationally acclaimed for its African repertoire, which includes accompaniment by authentic African instruments and body percussion. They also excel at music such as Handel’s Messiah, Mozart’s Requiem, Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms and Bach’s Magnificat.

History: The Drakensberg Boys’ Choir school welcomed its first 20 students in January 1967. The school is now internationally recognised and is home to one of South Africa’s most talented choirs.
