Andre miraculously survived a serious accident in Oct 2021 when a tree fell over the road in front of his car. Praise the Lord!

Everything about this is absolutely beautiful! Their facial expressions, the choreography, the vocals, the accompaniment. Brilliant!

My absolute favorite choir and director!!! I'm a 79 yr old sitting in Southern California, in the midst of a pandemic and a very divisive election cycle. It is so refreshing to leave my current environment and to tune in the Stellenbosch choir(s). I'm pretty much brought to tears when I see the unity of cultures portrayed by the Stellenbosch Choir, and the beautiful music that can be made when we all are happy and work together! God be with you Stellenbosch!

Hats off to the master mind behind the amazing vocals *Andre Van Der Merwe*

[meltaylor]

Born in SA in 1945 had to leave 1967 for fear of imprisonment. Wonderful to see so many different faces in the choir ☺️

[rosierayson]

An example to the world!! One human race singing together like one joyful, talented, beautiful family. May the Lord bless you richly.

It takes me back to my choir days... I'll always be in love with SA Choral Music

[aussieevonne]

i cannot love this enough. The technical difficulty is high, and they meet that with passion and perfection.

[goubeaujean-louis]

What's that ?, it's a magic trick, no... It's a neighbourhood music, no... It's an extraterrestrial group, no...IT'S SIMPLY A FANTASTIC TEAM THAT SINGS FROM THE HEART, IT'S STELLENBOSCH UNIVERSITY CHOIR.
My second comment for this group and once again THANK YOU SO MUCH...

[catherinedaniela]

I usually listen to this choir alot and wish to be a part of it.... Too bad I don't live in SA

[vickyle]

[Ellie]

Love, love, love! I'm an American but I used to live in South Africa. This thrills me and makes me homesick at the same time!

[profMaximvs]

This (magnificent) choir mixes up: great vocal arrangements, amazing choreography, lovely voices, gifted conductor, cute people.
All ingredients of infinite success!

Regards from Brazil.

[dalangie]

When I can travel to South Africa again I want to visit a performance of them.

[gregorydunleavy]

Thank you so much for sharing your incredible musical performances with the world. Mr. van der Merwe is a legendary conductor, and the singers' successful conveyance of raw emotion never ceases to amaze me. Much respect from Canada!

[gloriatshabalala]

My favourite conductor and choir. Superb!!

[helmutstinglmair]

wunderbar, muss ich jeden Tag mind. einmal hören

[cornemuseur]

I cannot imagine that music in heaven is more beautiful than this. And there’s no doubt they will steel the show everywhere they perform. Not only the singing, but also body and facial expression and surely the choreography contribute to a perfect musical experience. They have several songs that make me cry instantly when they start singing.
And of course a fabulous job of Andre van der Merwe!
