Watato Children's Choir perform at EHS
05 April 2019
The world-renowned Watoto Children's Choir are coming to Edgbaston High School for a special concert on Saturday 13 April between 4.00 - 5.00pm.
Watoto Children’s Choirs have travelled extensively since 1994, sharing a message of hope for Africa’s orphans and widows. To date, the choir has toured six continents and performed to enthralled audiences in schools, retirement homes, churches, parliaments, state houses and royal palaces.
The Watoto Children's Choir concert is a fundraising event for Watoto. The choir's members are orphans and other vulnerable children; many of them have suffered the loss of one or both parents and now live in a Watoto village.
Accompanied by a team of adults, the choir presents Watoto’s vision and mission by sharing personal stories, music and dance. While on the road, the children act as advocates for the millions of other African children who have experienced the same heartbreaking pain and suffering as them.
Through the power of their testimonies the children will share stories of how their lives have been changed, and how they have been called into a life of purpose to transform their communities. Each story will declare the miracle of transformation – from darkness to light; from despair to hope; from loss to purpose; from fear to faith.
The concert is held as part of the 2019 UK Tour ‘We Will Go’ and is held in the school’s Octagon performance space. Tickets are free of charge and can be booked here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/watoto-childrens-choir-in-we-will-go-birmingham-west-midlands-tickets-58707959086
