“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything” – Plato

It’s a new year and that means a new season with new music for the Johannesburg Bach Choir.

With three concerts planned for the year, 2026 will be a busy one for members of this much-loved choir. Our concerts will be on:

• Sunday 19 April;
• Sunday 2 August; and
• Sunday 14 November.

In all cases, starting times will be at 15h00, while venues will still be announced. As the concert venues are finalised, tickets will be available from Quicket.

Our first concert will feature a tribute to the glorious floral kingdom of our world. Choral favourites such as Peter Tchaikovsky’s “Crown of roses” and Herbert Howell’s “A spotless rose” will be sung alongside the ever-popular “Edelweis”. Be sure to mark the date – Sunday 19 April – in your diary.

If you’d like to join the choir, please do be in contact with our membership secretary, Sue van Zyl, at johannesburgbachchoir@gmail.com or on 083-673-1440.

In the meantime, on behalf of the Johannesburg Bach Choir, we wish for you a glorious 2026 with much joy and happiness.
