In the stunning concert hall of the University of South Africa building in Pretoria, our students joined with performers from local primary and high schools to present a stunning concert to an auditorium packed with their proud parents and teachers. It was on this stage that the demanding Friday after-school rehearsal schedule, in place since the beginning of September finally paid off; Ms Rosina and Dr Steyn were delighted with the students’ performances of their orchestral pieces as well as the songs performed by the mass choir at the end of the concert. The stirring rendition of the SA national anthem especially brought a tear to many an eye.
