This choir has won numerous awards, including being crowned national champions in the 2006 Old Mutual/Telkom National Choir Festival.

They also made history this year when they toured Europe performing ‘Porgy ‘n Bess’, becoming the first South African choir to perform an opera in Europe.

The Gauteng Choristers will be conducted by Sindiswa Sidwel Mhlongo with musical direction from Wendy Oldfield and musical arrangements by Neo Muyanga and Paul Hamner under the band leadership of Concord Nkabinde.
