TEAM SPIRIT: The Johannesburg Youth Orchestra will perform with Yvonne Chaka Chaka at the Joburg Theatre.
A Night with the Stars comes to the Joburg Theatre for two nights only.
“It is such a privilege to work with a lady such as Yvonne Chaka Chaka who has achieved so much in her musical career, but has not forgotten her roots and where she started,” said Susan Rendall, CEO of Johannesburg Youth Orchestra Company.
“What a role model for our students and an honour for them to be able to learn from her.”
The Princess of Africa, as Chaka Chaka is fondly known, who made famous the hit songs Motherland and Natural Women, said she was humbled by the comments made by Rendall.
“There’s so much we can learn from young blood if only we were to nurture their talents,” said Chaka Chaka.
“I am thrilled to be sharing the stage with this young talent as we celebrate Youth Month.
“I have no doubt the orchestra and performers will blow our minds as they perform their interpretation of hits made in the 80s performed by youngsters born in the 80s and 90s.”
The Johannesburg Youth Orchestra Company is a place that allows more than 600 young musicians to meet and grow their talents, and it is for this reason that this opportunity for them to perform with a legend has created great excitement among them.
Chaka Chaka will not only perform with the youth orchestra, but also with Annemarie Steenkamp, Monde Msutwana, Mzansi Youth Choir and the winning group of South African X-Factor, FOUR.
The shows will take place on 27 and 28 June at the Joburg Theatre.
