The two are currently in New York attending workshops by some of the best coaches, including classical tenor and vocal instructor Robert Iovanna and singer and actress Karen Wagner.

Mother Annalie Els said the 17-year-old Centurion high school learners were having the time of their lives “working very hard, but enjoying every minute of it”.

The twins impressed Iovanna at his workshop.

“They will be heading to Broadway to meet the cast of the Anastasia musical, where they will continue to receive tips and training from some of the biggest names in the industry.”
