The group was put together last year by Mqadi with the hope of sharing their talents with the world.
“This is something that is missing in the industry, there is real talent here so I wanted everyone to be able to see it.”
- Gcina Mqadi, Conductor
He hopes America’s Got Talent will catapult the choir to new heights, creating opportunities for the learners that they wouldn’t previously have had.
The group will travel to America early next year so keep an eye out on their social media for more updates.
