Sarona Mynhardt, Director of the White Rock Children’s Choir, clinician, and performer, was in Kimberley last week for three days to work the Selkirk Concert Choir.

On Saturday night, at the end of the three days, the choir under the direction of Mynhardt performed at the Mckim Theatre in front of a very appreciative crowd. Mynhardt lead the choir through a variety of songs with the last set focusing on African music.

Mynhardt was born and raised in South Africa. Her formal voice training culminated in postgraduate work at the Conservatory of Music at North-West University in Potchefstroom. Her early singing career included membership in professional children’s and youth choirs, and later extended to include roles in musicals, operettas, and solo recitals.

The students found Sarona had a great sense of humor, was very personable and always had a story. The enthusiasm shown during the concert was a testament to the wonderful experience the students enjoyed during the three-day workshop.
