Drakensberg Mountains hosts a Drakensberg Boys Choir live concert in Cathkin Park near Winterton, South Africa, on 21 October 2026. The programme brings classical choral masterpieces, African rhythms and contemporary favourites to the Ken MacKenzie Auditorium on the school campus.
Drakensberg Mountains sets the concert venue for 21 October
The concert is part of the choir school’s weekly campus programme. The event listing gives 21 October 2026 as the date and identifies the venue as Drakensberg Boys Choir in Cathkin Park, within the central mountain region.
The performance takes place in the Ken MacKenzie Auditorium. The choir school calendar describes the campus concert programme as featuring classical works, African rhythms and contemporary music, while the event listing confirms the 21 October date and Cathkin Park venue.
Choir concert connects with a World Heritage landscape
The school stands in Champagne Valley, with its official address in Winterton, KwaZulu-Natal. That setting places a contemporary choral programme beside the South African component of the Maloti-Drakensberg Park, the transnational World Heritage property extending across the border with Lesotho.
The uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park component covers 242,813 ha, according to UNESCO’s World Heritage listing. The wider property is recognised for basaltic mountain formations, steep valleys, rocky gorges, endemic species and San rock art created over more than 4,000 years.
The concert’s auditorium therefore offers a cultural use of the same broad landscape that UNESCO describes through natural and archaeological features. The event is at the choir campus rather than in a park trail, cave or rock-art shelter.
