The aim of the Horizons Project is not simply to stimulate the creation of new South African choral music; but to stimulate the creation of a new generation of South African choral composers. There are 2 projects a year, each one focusing on a different genre of choral compositions. The Choir consists of 24 hand-picked Singers. By inviting specific ‘head-hunted’ Singers to join the choir and not just having open public auditions, allows us to hold an extremely high level of musicianship, technical ability and an exclusivity that makes our sound unique.

Bring a torch, to the cradle run It is Jesus, good folk of the village Christ is born and mother Mary is a-calling. Ah! Ah! beautiful is the Mother! Ah! Ah! beautiful is her son It is wrong while the baby is sleeping, It is wrong, don't be talking so loud. Silence, now as you gather around, Lest a sound should waken Jesus. Hush! Hush! beautiful is the Mother! Hush! Hush! beautiful is her son Softly into the manger, Softly for a moment come! Look and see how charming the baby, Look at him there, His cheeks are rosy! Hush! Hush! see how the Child is sleeping; Hush! Hush! see how he smiles in dreams!  less
