Sing With One Voice

Sing With One Voice

Date: 2016-08-26
Sing with One Voice is a choral music and dance concert featuring seven Catholic schools from the greater Durban area, as a fund-raiser for the Denis Hurley Centre taking place at Emmanuel Cathedral on Thursday 25 August 2016 at 6.00pm.

Prior to the concert, there will be a free tour of the Denis Hurley Centre available from 5.00pm. ?Seven Durban Catholic schools are uniting to show their support for the now completed Denis Hurley Centre by presenting an evening of choral music at the Emmanuel Cathedral. The participating schools are: St Benedicts Pinetown, St Francis Mariannhill, Holy Family Glenwood, St Henry's Marist, Our Lady of Fatima Durban North, Maris Stella and Kwa Thintwa School for the Deaf (which was founded by Archbishop Hurley) who will present a special concert of much-loved sacred choral music.

In 2012, a group of Grade 11 girls from Maris Stella visited the projects at the Cathedral, and were so impressed by the work with refugees, homeless and unemployed people, as well as those with HIV/AIDS, that they decided to do something to help. So they approached other Catholic schools in the greater Durban area to join them in a concert of sacred music. The music will be complemented by learners from KwaThintwa who will perform a programme of exciting dances.

The Denis Hurley Centre is now complete. It has proven to become an enabling environment for care, education and community building in one of the most diverse and challenging neighbourhoods of downtown Durban, close to the busiest road and rail transport hub in the province of KwaZulu-Natal. ?

Volunteers from the Cathedral have tirelessly campaigned for years to get sufficient funds to build such an ambitious building as the DHC - a huge ask in the current financial climate. Now that the building is complete, fund-raising continues in earnest to equip, furnish and keep the center staffed and open.

Entry is free and all are welcome! A collection will be taken for the Denis Hurley Centre.

Safe parking is provided at the Cathedral.
