Sing With One Voice Catholic Schools Concert

Sing With One Voice Catholic Schools Concert

Date: 2017-09-14

Sing with One Voice a now annual one-off event of choral music and dance concert featuring five Catholic schools from the greater Durban area as a fund-raiser for the Denis Hurley Centre takes place at Emmanuel Cathedral on Wednesday 20 September 2017 at 6pm, this year with the theme: “A Song for World Peace”.

Five greater Durban schools are uniting to show their support for the ever-active Denis Hurley Centre by presenting a special one-off early-evening concert of much-loved sacred, popular and choral music at the Emmanuel Cathedral. Participating schools are: Thomas Moore Kloof, St Benedicts Pinetown, St Francis Mariannhill, and Maris Stella Berea. The music will again be complemented by learners from KwaThintwa School for the Deaf, which was founded by Archbishop Hurley, who will perform a showcase of dances.

The programme culminates with all choirs joining in to sing en masse, the beautiful English folk song, Oh Shenandoah. The programme is co-ordinated by Annabelle Burgess and Susan van Blerk from Maris Stella. Guest of honour this year will be Monsignor Paul Nadal.

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 schools in the greater Durban area to join them in a concert of sacred music.

The Sing With One Voice concert has now become an annual event to support the work of the Denis Hurley Centre which It provides 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.

The Denis Hurley Centre is a legacy project honouring Archbishop Denis Hurley OMI who was bishop and archbishop of this city from 1947 to 1992. He played a significant role in opposing apartheid and promoting the vision of just a society. In serving the poorest and most marginalised citizens of Durban the Denis Hurley Centre lives out Archbishop Hurley's dream that the Church would be a "community serving humanity"

Entry is free and all are welcome! A collection will be taken for the Denis Hurley Centre. Safe parking at the Cathedral. Tea will be on sale after the concert.
