Singing in Kroon van Wonders has been a deeply spiritual and transformative experience. Each rehearsal felt like an encounter with the divine, with Franco guiding us through music that touches both heart and soul. From the emotional depth of “Vrou, waarom ween jy?” to the symbolic richness of Peter’s threefold response, every moment carried profound meaning. This oratorio has become a sacred milestone in my musical and faith journey.

In Vox Chamber Choir, our Saturday rehearsals are about more than music. Between sacred texts and soaring harmonies, we gather around a shared meal—Tupperware treasures and laughter flowing freely. These moments of connection build the trust and warmth that shape our music. As we prepare for our Oratorio, it’s clear: the journey, nourished by food and friendship, is just as meaningful as the performance itself.

Francois Pelser recounts the exhilarating experience of performing at Loftus Versfeld, from the initial dream to the intense preparations and the surreal moment of being on stage. The performance, a highlight for the singers, is described as an adrenaline-fueled dream, over in the blink of an eye, leaving the author wanting more.
