Last Friday, scores of choral music lovers converged on Baobab Primary School hall for a concert hosted by the United Congregational Church of Southern Africa (UCCSA) Broadhurst Choir.

The Broadhurst Choir, which needs no introduction to Monitor readers, is indisputably one  of the leading religious choirs in the country having performed in a number of international concerts. What perhaps sets them apart from their peers is their ability to blend choral music with other genres to come up with awesome pieces. While in the past they had invited choirs from other mainline churches in Gaborone, in the Friday concert they only invited the UCCSA Kagiso Choir from the Krugerdorp Circuit and Mogwana Traditional Dance Group.

According to the organisers, the 'friendship' between the two choirs (Broadhurst and Kagiso) started when Batswana visited their South African counterparts last year. The Kagiso group comprised about 49 people including deacons from their church.
