West Chester, PA – The award-winning African choir, the Voices of Namibia, will be
presenting a collaborative concert with the Pennsylvania Academy of Performing Arts’
Ariana Women’s Choir and Orpheus Men’s Choir on July 15 in West Chester. The choirs
will begin their performance on the West Chester Court House steps at 6:45 p.m.
(weather pending) and will move into the Chester County Historical Society at 7:00 p.m.
for a full concert program.

The Voices of Namibia choir has been performing throughout the United States in
preparation for the 2012 World Choir Games. Under the direction of Rayno Burger, the
Voices of Namibia performs a variety of world music, including traditional African
pieces and music from the classical and contemporary western canon. The heartbeat of
Voices of Namibia is their particular sound distilled from a unique blend of cultures and
language groups ranging from Afrikaans, Damara/Nama, English, German, Oshiwambo,
Otjiherero, and several other languages representing Namibia – diverse in cultures and
landscape, but united in song.
