African Children's Choir to light up Anfield
The Internationally renowned African Children’s Choir is returning to wow its audience at the Liverpool Lighthouse, 17th July at 7pm as part of their tour of Britain. The highly sought-after choir has performed at many prestigious venues including The Royal Albert Hall, Madison Square Gardens, Carnegie Hall and the White House. The Choir has chosen to return to Liverpool after the success of their last visit in July 2007, when they performed to a packed audience at King’s Hall Auditorium.
The 23 choir members from Nkomazi, South Africa are all aged between 7 and 10. Many of them have suffered the legacy of disease, poverty, War and famine which, for many, has taken the lives of family members. The Choir was founded by human rights activist, Ray Barnett after a trip to Uganda in 1984. Now celebrating their jubilee year, the Choir has gone from strength to strength and have performed with high profile artists including, Sir Paul McCartney and Mariah Carey at Live8 and Josh Groban for American Idol. The Choir continues to give African children an opportunity to a better life through touring their highly acclaimed, musical feast.
The artists will be supported by local acts including the Liverpool Signing Choir.The ticket sales are going directly to the African Children’s Choir charity.
