CPUT Choir Scoops Six Categories in Choral Festival
WINNERS: The CPUT choir scooped top honours at the recent Satica Eisteddfod Choral Festival
Wednesday, 11 July 2012
The CPUT Choir has once again proven itself to be one of the best choirs in the country by winning a number of categories in the recent Satica Eisteddfod Choral Festival.
After being crowned the overall winner in last year’s competition, the CPUT Choir again won both first places in the HIV/Aids and the African Piece categories of the Large Section.
CPUT went on to take the overall second position in the Large Section, while the first and third positions in this category respectively went to The University of the Western Cape Choir and the Vaal University of Technology Choir.
CPUT also secured themselves second place in the rendition of the Own Choice Piece and third place in both the Duet and Western categories of the Large Section.
Hosted by the Department of Student Affairs in the Major Sports Hall last week, the Choral Festival started with a social concert, followed by smaller groups like female, male and duet voices on Tuesday. The standard and large categories were heard for the remainder of the week.
Satica President Velani Mbiza says the standards were so high that it was difficult to tell who was going to win.
“The type of music chosen for the competition gave a great level of output from the choirs. The quality of music could reveal the level of preparation the choirs went through,” he says.
CPUT Student Development Officer Thando Moiloa thanked the entire CPUT team for making the event a success.
