The CCC Choirs

Cape Cultural Collective Choirs

Life is a song!

The Cape Cultural Collective has two choirs with about 60 singers.  The choirs all reflect the central values of the CCC by including a diverse membership and singing in three languages.

The Rosa choir started in 2012 and has grown into a well-established and much loved choir in the City. The junior Rosa choir was formed at the end of 2015 and brings together more than 40 children from Langa, Manenberg, Kalksteenfontein and Hout Bay.

The choir is as much about singing as it is about togetherness and youth development.

The Rosa Choir Project: A Diverse Musical Journey Breaking Barriers and Bridging Communities

With a repertoire encompassing traditional songs in Afrikaans, Xhosa, and English – and a mix of all three, this choir transcends societal divisions based on class, color, religion, language, and geography. Comprised of a wide range of members, including gospel singers, youth activists, casual workers, educators, veteran Malay choir performers, international visitors, and more, the Rosa Choir Project is an inspiring example of unity in diversity.

Through their shared commitment to music, the choir members embark on an extraordinary journey of learning, connecting with various histories, languages, and traditions.

Overcoming Spatial Divisions

An essential objective of the Rosa Choir Project is to challenge the spatial divisions that persist in Cape Town, remnants of the apartheid era in South Africa.

By organizing practices in different neighborhoods, such as Langa High School, Bonteheuwel, Heideveld Primary School, and even members’ homes across the peninsula, the choir aims to break down physical barriers and create opportunities for meaningful interactions.

The project operates under an open-door policy, welcoming anyone who wishes to join.

This inclusive approach enables participants to meet and forge connections with individuals they may not have encountered in their daily lives, fostering a sense of community and understanding.

Fostering Unity through Music

The Rosa Choir Project stands as a testament to the unifying power of music, as it defies historical divides and embraces cultural diversity.

The project not only entertains and transforms but also serves as an educational platform, encouraging the exploration and understanding of different cultural traditions. Every Saturday afternoon, choir members gather at various locations across Cape Town for their weekly practice sessions.

This regular gathering is more than just a rehearsal; it is an opportunity for people from all walks of life to connect, exchange ideas, and celebrate their shared love for music.

Enriching Lives, One Song at a Time

The Rosa Choir Project goes beyond being just a musical endeavor; it is a force for positive change in the lives of its members and the broader community.

Through their shared passion for singing, participants experience personal growth, cultural exchange, and a deepening appreciation for diversity. The project empowers individuals to learn from one another, bridging cultural gaps and challenging preconceived notions.

Whether it’s a university lecturer, a marathon runner, a casual worker, or an actress, each member brings their unique talents and perspectives, enriching the collective experience of the choir.

The Rosa Choir Project demonstrates that music can be a catalyst for positive change, fostering a more inclusive and harmonious society.
