Affie School Choir and A-Minere Performance

DIE AFFIEKOOR

Die Affiekoor, ook bekend as die Rooidasse, vorm sedert die 1930’s ‘n integrale deel van die ryk tradisie en geskiedenis van die Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool. Die Rooidasse staan sedert 2015 onder leiding van AJ Maree. Gisela Scriba is sedert 1996 die koor se pianis. Die 85 seuns waaruit die koor bestaan, streef die koor se leuse na:

“Sing om mense se harte aan te raak.”

Met hierdie uitvoering spog die koor met hul uiteenlopende repertoire, bestaande uit tradisionele, moderne en klassieke koorwerke. Konsertgangers kan uitsien na kragtige verwerkings van musiek deur Dan Forrest, Jerry Estes en Stephen Schwartz. Die repertoire sluit ook twee nuwe Afrikaanse komposisies in, wat spesiaal deur Franco Prinsloo en Morné van der Westhuizen vir die Affiekoor geskryf is.

DIE A-MINERE

Die A-minere is ‘n a cappella-groep wat uitgesoekte graad 11- en 12-seuns insluit. Die naam is ‘n speelse kombinasie van die aanspreekvorm “meneer” en die musiekterm A-mineur.

Die groep bestaan reeds sedert 1996 en is vanaf 2010 onder leiding van AJ Maree. Hierdie sanggroep word vir sy energie, harmonie en ‘n vars invalshoek in kontemporêre musiek gereken.

THE AFFIE CHOIR

The Affie Choir, fondly known as the Rooidasse (Red Ties), has been an integral part of Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool’s rich tradition since the 1930s. Under the direction of AJ Maree since 2015, with Gisela Scriba as accompanist since 1996, the 85 young men in the choir are dedicated to their motto:

“Sing om mense se harte aan te raak”
(Sing to move people’s hearts.)

Their performance will showcase a diverse repertoire, blending traditional, contemporary, and choral works. Expect powerful renditions of music by Dan Forrest, Jerry Estes, Stephen Schwartz, and two new Afrikaans compositions written especially for the choir by Franco Prinsloo and Morné van der Westhuizen.

THE A-MINERE

The A-minere, a name playfully combining the Afrikaans word for “sir” (meneer) and the musical key of minor, is an elite a cappella group of Grade 11 and 12 boys.

Established in 1996, they have been captivating audiences with their dynamic vocal performances of popular hits – all performed a cappella. Led by AJ Maree since 2010, the A-minere brings energy, harmony, and a fresh take on contemporary music
