This afternoon, McManus Hall was filled with the sweetest sound of all — the voices of our younger choirs. 🎶

If this is what we are hearing at such a young age, then the future is truly something to look forward to. These little voices already carry so much promise, and we can only imagine how powerful they will be as they grow.

A very big thank you to all who sang their hearts out, especially those who travelled from Kuruman — the Good Hope Mixed Primary School Choir. Your music brought light and joy to the hall.

There is nothing quite as moving as a choir of children — young voices rising together, filling McManus Hall with hope, harmony, and happiness. Well done to each and every one of you.

What a magical moment for our little Grade R’s today! ✨

While warming up outside McManus Hall, two of our talented contestants surprised the children with their very own private concert. Our little ones sat wide-eyed, completely captivated — some even whispered, “I just want to play like them one day!”

A heartfelt thank you to these two gifted young ladies for sharing your music so generously. You truly made the children’s day unforgettable.

And to top it all off — a massive congratulations on your outstanding performances in the main event, both bringing home GOLD! We couldn’t be prouder.

Thank you once again for inspiring and delighting our young learners with your beautiful playing. 🎶

Last night at MADDFest was nothing short of incredible!
The evening came alive with the sounds of jazz bands, string ensembles, wind band, and string quartets – a true celebration of talent and passion.

It was amazing to hear such a mix of instruments and see everyone give their all on stage. The build-up to Saturday’s finale is becoming tougher by the day – the talent is simply outstanding!

Well done to every performer for making it such a memorable evening.

MADDFest – Morning Sessions

This morning’s programme kicked off with drum kit solos, piano performances and brilliant brass pieces – a fantastic mix of rhythm, melody and bold sound to start the day. The drums brought the energy, the piano added a beautiful contrast, and the brass instruments lifted the atmosphere with their rich and vibrant tones.

More to come as the day unfolds.
