South African Choirs: Laerskool Eversdal


Figure 1.--Laerskool Eversdal Primary School is another of several South African schools that have important choral programs. It is rather unusual for public schools to have such an extensive choral program, but we see it in South Africa. This school is a bilingual English-Akrikaan school in Durbanville near Cape Town. The school has a Junior Choir, a Senior Choir, and also a Speech Choir (Spreek Koor). This may be a musical theater choir. The children are probably in the photograph here wearing the costumes for one of theor show performances. Could it be 'Oklahoma!'?

Laerskool Eversdal Primary School is another of several South African schools that have important choral programs. Laer is derived from the Dutch lager(e). Laerskool in Dutch is Lagere School. That means primary or elementary school in English. It is rather unusual for public schools to have such an extensive choral program, but we see it in South Africa.

A reader thinks the outfit here is tge choir's standard uniform, "I believe the school choir wear this outfit to their singing venues. I have a CD of them and this appears to be the choir clothes. I think this is Boer community."
