The South African Youth Choir
The internationally acclaimed, multi award winning South African Youth Choir (SAYC) has positioned itself as one of the most sought after performance choirs in South Africa. Since its inception in 2005, the SAYC has showcased its vast abilities on both local and international platform, entertaining a variety of audiences across the globe. The choir has been awarded “B

est Youth Choir” at the prestigious ATKV Animato International Choral Competition for four years consecutively (2014 - 2017). SAYC also made a clean sweep at the 10th and final ATKV Animato International Choral Competition (October 2017), winning the prize as Overall Best Choir, as well as palming in awards for Best Youth Choir, Best Overall Contemporary Work, Best Overall African Work and Best Prescribed Work in the Youth Choir Category. The choir recently obtained an average score of 90,6% at the Tygerberg International Eisteddfod in 2019. In 2017 and 2018, an ensemble of the choir toured through several states of the USA by invitation of The International Music Exchange (T.I.M.E.). In recognition of their outstanding contribution to the Arts and society, the Cities of Las Vegas and Minneapolis respectively declared the 16th October 2017 and 21st October 2017 "South African Youth Choir Day". SAYC does not only promote a unique musical product of international standard, but also endorses raw and exceptional South African youth talent. The Choir currently consists of 60 high school learners and students between the ages of 14 - 25 years from all over South Africa who represent the wonderfully diverse cultures of our country. In the true spirit of UBUNTU, the SAYC is a human project, a celebration of unity within cultural diversity.

Happy New Year to our SAYC family and all our amazing followers! 🎉✨️🥳

The new year opens before us like a quiet breath, full of promise, shaped by all that has come before.

As we step into 2026, we do so with gratitude, shared purpose, and a deep belief that our music, when offered with sincerity, can continue to build bridges, inspire courage, and give voice to hope.
Each note we sing together reminds us that the future is not only awaited, but created.
May the message of our music resonate long after the final note has faded, echoing in hearts, crossing boundaries, and reminding the world of what is possible when many voices move as one.

May the year ahead bring clarity, kindness, and renewed strength. May it invite us to listen more deeply, serve more generously, and walk together with intention.

Thank you for being part of our journey 🫶 May this year meet you with good health, peace, prosperity and many moments that make your heart sing! 🫶

Merry Christmas to our amazing SAYC family and all our wonderful followers! 🎄🌟

As the year draws to a close, we pause, not merely in silence, but in gratitude.

Christmas invites us to listen more deeply: to one another, to the world around us, and to the quiet hope that continues to rise, even in uncertain times.

Through every rehearsal, performance, and shared moment, we have been reminded that our voices carry more than music — they carry possibility.

Thank you for walking this journey with us. Your love, encouragement, and support allow our harmonies to extend beyond the stage and into lives and communities. 🫶

May this season bring rest to the weary, light to the hopeful, and renewed purpose to us all. We look forward to welcoming the year ahead together, with open hearts and listening ears! ✨️
