FREEDOM DAY 27 APRIL. by PEE-WEE
The South African Freedom Day (April 27) is now firmly associated with the Freedom to Sing Day. It`s the day of Singathon organized by the Cape Town Opera (CTO) at the Waterfront amphitheatre in which singers from all walks have the chance to raise their voices in song and to raise money for opera. Started in 1999 as an experiment, the Singathon has become an annual tradition providing a load of fun for professional and amateur soloists, choral groups, children`s choirs who donate their voices for the day. CTO`s own choral groups and Sanlam Studio singers are also there to ensure the singing never stops. If you are in Cape Town on this day, take a break from your morning meanders to experience this joyous event for yourself. I'm usually not an Opera fan, but these songs and performances were truly heart-moving. I couldn't stop listen to it!
