Yvonne will
be joined on stage by South African X-Factor winners FOUR who
have enjoyed a meteoric rise since their win, the soulful Monde Msutwana, Annemarie
Steenkamp and Mzansi Youth Choir to ensure a 2-hour
musical experience not to be missed.
Says Susan Rendall, Chief Executive
Officer of Johannesburg Youth Orchestra; “It is such a privilege to work with a lady such as Yvonne Chaka Chaka
who has achieved so much in her musical career, but has not forgotten he roots
and where she started. What a role model for our students and an honour for
them to be able to learn from her.”
Chaka Chaka responds; “There’s so much we can learn from young blood if
only we were to nurture their talents and not calculate wisdom using their age.
I am thrilled to be sharing the stage with this young talent, as we
celebrate youth month. I have no doubt the orchestra and performers will
blow our minds as they perform their interpretation of hits made in
the 80’s performed by youngsters born in the 80s and 90s.”
