UJ choir UJ Choir Represents Africa at World Symposium: Farewell Concert Details
Before the University of Johannesburg (UJ) Choir takes South African choral music to one of the world’s most prestigious international stages, audiences will have the opportunity to experience its world-bound programme on home soil.
The choir will host its Farewell Concert on August 15 at the UJ Arts Centre’s Keorapetse William Kgositsile Theatre in Auckland Park, Johannesburg, ahead of its journey to Macau, China, where it will represent South Africa and the African continent at the World Symposium on Choral Music 2026.
Selected from hundreds of choirs across the world, UJ Choir is one of only 13 ensembles invited to perform at the prestigious symposium. It is also the only choir representing the African continent.
In a further honour, the choir has been invited to officially open the symposium programme, a distinction reserved for leading choral ensembles from around the globe.
