NWU Symphony Orchestra & NWU Serenaders - "Hymn of Praise"

The NWU Symphony Orchestra and NWU Serenaders will join forces for a stirring performance of Felix Mendelssohn’s monumental Symphony No. 2, Op. 52, Hymn of Praise, at the NG Kerk Miederpark on 15 August at 19:00.

Conducted by André Oosthuizen, the performance will bring together the expressive power of a full symphony orchestra, choir and vocal soloists in one of Mendelssohn’s most uplifting large-scale works. The soloists are sopranos Thembinkosi Magagula and Nomgqibelo Sukwana, and tenor Thomas Erlank.

Also known by its German title, Lobgesang, the work weaves the traditions of the symphony and sacred cantata, guiding listeners from darkness into light through a journey of faith, gratitude, and renewal - an inspiring experience to share with the community.

Like the rays of the sun at dawn, come and let the song wash over you!
