Zolani Youth Choir
The Zolani Youth Choir hails from a small town called Ashton, in the community called Zolani (Western Cape). Headed up by visionary conductor Odwa Mvunge, who returned to his birth community in 2012, after completing his music education studies at Nelson Mandela University. The lack of cultural activities for the youth in the Zolani area, lead to the formation of the Choir. The main vision of the Choir is to equip youth of the Zolani community with basic music skills and consists of 30 scholars from different schools between the ages of 12 and 25 years.
These scholars have no professional training or background in formal music, but have proven to have passion and love for the art. The Choir demonstrates to scholars and the community at large that if you place your heart, dedication and energy into something, you can achieve your dreams.
