NDLOVU YOUTH CHOIR

Thursday, October 24 at 8 p.m.

Dreyfoos Hall

Since its inception in 2009, the Ndlovu Youth Choir has become one of the world's most treasured groups. Their unique musical arrangements, powerhouse vocals, irresistibly combined with mesmerizing choreography and infectious energy have inspired millions across the globe.

An eleven-year journey has seen an after-school programme for orphaned and vulnerable children, started by the Ndlovu Care Group, transform into an international recording and touring career. Participation does not only instill values of togetherness, a work ethic and a sense of responsibility, but it develops self-discipline, self-confidence, and leadership. Through the choir, choristers gain a global perspective that offers an early pathway to artistic and professional achievement. The choir uses their talents to share their inspirational story with the world through song and dance.

The choir's repertoire is an exciting mix of traditional South African genres with pop, rock, jazz and EDM. Their intention to create a fresh and original sound is evident in their ability to take internationally well-known songs - Toto's “Africa”, Kygo's Higher Love, U2's “Beautiful Day” and Ed SHeeran's “Shape of You” - and move them into an exciting new territory.

The Ndlovu Youth Choir's incredible run on “America's Got Talent” (Season 14) made them the first choir in the history of either America's Got Talent or Britain's Got Talent to reach the final. Their soul-stirring performances won hearts and minds around the world. After their final AGT performance, legendary music producer and record executive Simon Cowell labelled the performance ‘The best final I have ever sat on in my life'. He went on to sign the choir and together with SYCO and Sony Music they released their first album, which debuted at number one on iTunes.

As the Ndlovu Youth Choir's meteoric rise continues, they strive to push the creative boundaries of song and dance to reach and touch audiences of all ages across the globe. Their high-energy performances have thrilled audiences worldwide and have shared a message of hope, love and togetherness.

Ndlovu Youth Choir is a Kravis Center PEAK Series presentation, made possible by a grant from the MLDauray Arts Initiative in honor of Leonard and Sophie Davis.

Tickets for Ndlovu Youth Choir in West Palm Beach are $35 -$85*.

SALUTE TO VIENNA NEW YEAR'S CONCERT

Wednesday, January 1 at 7:30 p.m.

Dreyfoos Hall

Salute to Vienna New Year's Concert is a joyful, lively experience that has delighted audiences in West Palm Beach for more than 25 years. Every holiday season, this beloved tradition bursts to life at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts with music, bright costumes, and lush flowers. As dancers enliven timeless melodies, including the Blue Danube Waltz, the Maestro regales the audience with stories (and a joke or two) from the conductor's podium. Ring in 2025 with soaring arias, romantic duets, and festive overtures, courtesy of the “Waltz King,” Johann Strauss Jr.  

This beloved musical celebration evokes the enchantment and grandeur of Vienna's Golden Age with a new cast and musical program each year. Performed by some of Europe's finest singers, internationally celebrated dancers, and a full orchestra conducted by an expert in Viennese music, this concert experience is the perfect way to greet the New Year. 

Just like a champagne toast at midnight, it would not be New Year's without Salute to Vienna. Presented by Attila Glatz Concert Productions. Artists subject to change without notice.
