A huge congratulations to Resonance for taking home three awards at the ChoirFestME 2025 senior school competition, including:

‘Best Non-English Performance’ for their beautiful, nuanced work and for capturing the spirit of Xhosa with a technical ability that transported us to Africa.

‘Best Artistic Impression’ for their look, movement, and the inspiring journey they took everyone on, lighting up the stage with every note they sang.

And finally, the ultimate honor – ‘Senior Choir of the Year’ – for their spellbinding performance, commitment, and smart program.
