The Drakensberg Boys Choir School (DBCS) will embark on their 2025 National Tour this month, with Stellenbosch residents having the opportunity to be mesmerised by the angelic voices.
From Sunday 9 to Monday 17 March, the Drakies will visit Bloemfontein, Graaff-Reinet, Plettenberg Bay, Still Bay, Stellenbosch, Cape Town, and Pennington. The programme will showcase the choir’s signature blend of classic choral works by renowned composers in the first half and an energetic mix of African and Afro-Pop rhythms in the second.The Stellenbosch concert will be held at the Stellenbosch Moederkerk at 19:00 on Thursday 13 March.
“This year’s tour is about more than just music – it’s about connecting communities across South Africa,” said Hendrik Bekker, executive head of DBCS. “From Bloemfontein to the KZN South Coast, we’re excited to share our love for music with audiences from all walks of life. Music is not just what we do – Music is our ministry. It’s a tool to build character, resilience, and hope in our boys and the audiences we perform for.”
The choir has an impressive history of international tours, having performed in over 30 countries worldwide. Last year, they also performed at iconic UK venues such as Southwark Cathedral, Oxford University’s New College and St Paul’s Knightsbridge, where they performed alongside Innocent Masuku, an operatic tenor and Britain’s Got Talent sensation. The choir’s most recent album “Stimela” won the Best Adult Contemporary Album at the 2024 South African Music Awards, reaffirming their status as one of South Africa’s most treasured cultural assets.
