e'Bosch Secondary Schools Choir Festival • 2018 • e'Bosch-skolekoorfees (Sekondêre skole)
The e’Bosch Secondary Schools Choir Festival was held on 19 September 2018 in the Stellenbosch Town Hall. Under the leadership of Johann Murray, Wikje du Preez and Elwin September, altogether 282 learners from eight participating high schools were divided equally into two smaller choirs who practised together, with each one performing three songs. The two sub-choirs combined for a mass choir which performed the e’Bosch Song written, The United Light, and the National Anthem. The event was attended by about 680 people.
Through the schools, communities are exposed to cultural and musical performance, hence audience development and education. They are also introduced to the aims and vision of the organisation, such as the values of heritage and community outreach as well as social development.

e'Bosch Primary Schools Choir Festival • 2018 • e'Bosch-skolekoorfees (Primêre skole)
A very successful e’Bosch Primary Schools Choir Festival was held on 25 August 2018 at the Stellenbosch University Coetzenburg Centre under the leadership of Tarnia van Zitters and the help of Elwin September as logistics coordinator.
Altogether 21 primary school choirs (424 learners) and the US Wind Ensemble (50 members) made up the programme for this event. The schools were grouped into six clusters that each performed two songs of their choice. The mass choir performed the prescribed work, Song for Mandela, by Anun Francis, and the National Anthem, accompanied by the SU Wind Ensemble, under the direction of Pamela Kiernan. The event was attended by about 500 people.
The e’Bosch Heritage Project has managed to assist 15 communities to form school choirs, a project which has the potential to mould our youth in becoming disciplined and responsible role models.
The communities reached include Klapmuts, Elsenburg, Koelenhof, Vlottenburg, Raithby, Jamestown, Devon Valley, Ida’s Valley, Cloetesville, La Colline, Franschhoek, Pniël, Simondium, Kylemore and Stellenbosch Central.
The orchestral exposure gave the event a boost, which also created a higher standard of performance. The choir festival has enabled diverse communities to unify around song.
