Symphony Choir of Cape Town

About


The SCCT was founded in 1972 as an adjunct to the Cape Town Symphony Orchestra, performing major choral works each year under the baton of well-known guest conductors. Since 1992 the Choir has been an independent body and has promoted and managed its own concerts. While singing major choral works remains its main objective, the Choir performs smaller scale works as well. The SCCT aims to put on an average of 4 concerts per year. It consists of between 50 and 70 members from all walks of life with a common love of choral music The choir is directed by Levi Alexander and run by a committee headed by a chairperson and made up of choir members. The SCCT is a non-profit organisation and, as such, works hard to gain sponsorship and funding from corporates and private individuals.

"Wonderfully balanced programme of hearing beautiful music perfectly performed and inviting the audience to join in with glorious Christmas carols. A marvellous evening! Many thanks to all."

"The concert was fabulous, a very special experience. All the pieces and the orchestra and large choir were really great and powerful. The performance of the The Armed Man was exceptional and deeply moving. Showing the video with so many aspects of the pain, horrors and futility of war and conflict, alongside the very stirring music and also the special lighting effects was a masterstroke and added a huge amount of emotional depth. I was wondering if this has been done elsewhere with the performance of this piece. The person(s) who put together the video needs applause, it must have been hours of painstaking work. One wishes this performance could be shown very widely!! Especially to politicians! I hope it was recorded. Thank you to all the people who were involved, it must have needed a lot of rehearsals. "
