The Department of Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation will stage the first ever Interdenominational Church Choral Competition in the Mangaung Metro. The competition is a first for the Free State Province.
Categories of the competitions are as follows: 1) Male voice choir; 2) Female voice choir; 3) Senior “B” choir; 4) Senior “A” choir
For the first time in the Province, prize money, as well as trophies will be at stake in a Interdenominational Church Choir Competition.
Prizes will be awarded to overall winners in each category. All the participating choirs will each receive a R1 000.00 participation fee. Positions 1 - 3 in each category will receive Trophies and Prize Money ranging from R5000 to R3000 in both the Male and Female voice categories; R8 000 to R4000 in the Senior “B” Category and R10 000 to R6000 in the Senior “A” category.
The MEC for Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation, Mr Dan Kgothule, committed the department to the development of choral music which is the corner stone of all music forms. After the successful hosting of the biggest choral competition in the province at the end of last year, where more than 40 choirs from all 5 districts took part, as well as the hosting of a Schools Choral Music Competition, the department resolved to claim its stake as a pioneer in the development of choral music.
The competition will take place on the 10 June 2012 from 09h00 at the Boikhuco Old Age Home Hall in Batho (Bloemfontein)
Your media house is cordially invited for coverage of the event.
