Celebrating 40 years of The African Children’s Choir

DRAYTON – The African Children’s Choir is celebrating its 40th anniversary during their Canadian Tour, “marking four decades of transforming lives through the power of music, education and hope,” officials state in a press release.

“As they embark on this milestone celebration, the Choir will continue to captivate audiences with their heartwarming performances of popular children’s tunes, traditional spiritual songs and vibrant African cultural pieces.”

The group will be performing at the Drayton Reformed Church (74 Wellington St. S.) on May 16 at 7pm.

“Composed of children aged 9 to 11, all from vulnerable backgrounds across Africa, the African Children’s Choir serves as a powerful testament to the resilience and potential of Africa’s future leaders,” officials state.

Each child in the Choir has faced significant hardship, often with limited access to education.

Yet, through the Choir, these children gain life-changing opportunities for education and personal growth, becoming beacons of hope for their communities.

“The African Children’s Choir proves just how powerful music can be,” states choir manager Tina Sipp.

“These concerts not only provide hope and encouragement to our audiences, but they offer the children life-changing experiences that help shape them into future leaders.”

In honor of this special 40th anniversary, the choir invites communities to experience their performances and be part of their mission to bring hope through music.

No tickets are required, though donations are appreciated to continue the Choir’s work.
