This summer, the Boston City Singers Tour Choir is heading to Cape Town, South Africa for a once-in-a-lifetime journey filled with music, connection, and adventure—and we’d love for you to follow along! As we share our voices with new audiences, collaborate with local choirs, and explore the vibrant culture and landscapes of the region, we’ll be documenting every step of the journey right here. We’ll be collaborating with schools across the region, building friendships, and learning from the rich musical traditions of South Africa. We can't wait to learn about South Africa’s diverse cultures, and gain new perspectives through music, conversation, and shared experiences.
From rehearsals and performances to unforgettable adventures along the way, check back often to experience the tour with us!
