We believe in a holistic educational philosophy with music education as a catalyst for innovation, creativity and social change. Choral singing is a strong voice against social injustice and inequality, as well as a connecting element between Namibian and German choirs.
Osmond Owoseb (choir director and composer) and Marchell Linus (choreographer) would like to try out the works already composed by the People of Song collective with various choirs at high schools in Namibia and promote musicality as part of cultural education.
In 5 different locations in Namibia (...) students from various high schools in the area of the respective locations will work on music, singing and movements for several days. The aim is also to convey sustainable structures and organizational techniques, through which the students learn to found, rehearse and further develop their own choirs.
Thus, the High School Chorister Training is not only an initiative to promote music in schools in Namibia, it forms the sustainable basis for further music projects throughout the country.
