Capital Singers


1 Shared dream + 2 cups of coffee = 3 good reasons to join the next Capital Singers!


Christo Burger "had a dream, a song to sing" for a community choir. His dream was to make it easy and accessible to people who love singing, but couldn't commit to weekly rehearsals year round. He took Michael Barrett for coffee. Michael Barrett and Christo are both choir heads and both boast an impressive build-up of accomplishments from small beginnings.

Let's not despise the days of small beginnings!


What started off as a dream and a small choir 5 years ago, exploded this year to 1000 voices filling the Sun arena at Time Square in Menlyn and making the "earth move under your feet" with the "Rewind 70's & 80's" show. These two masterful choirmasters loved every moment of this experience and this tangible love and passion for singing is what makes people come back for more! Both the choir and the audience. It is inspiration at its best, not to mention heavily contagious and addictive. The talented Ian von Memerty and Janine Neethling completed the picture behind the scenes with their vital contributions as Creative Director and Music Director.

Every Capital Singers has a cast of impressive celebrity singers. People we can admire for their talent and learn from their stories. No two stories are the same but all started small.


Erin Beck's small beginning was literally that she started when she was little, at the tender age of 7, with vocal coaching and now she has a massive presence on stage while being a petite girl of 15. You can't help but erupt in goosebumps and nearly cry when she belts her perfect pitch, high notes.

Elvis Blue had a small beginning as music teacher before winning Idols in 2010. He has gone higher and higher, from strength to strength and deeper and deeper into our hearts with every song that easily hits home, like his latest single "Jou huis". His songs had every girl in the arena staring at him, glittery eyed and smiling. (The guys were all wishing they were him).

Starting out, Joseph Clark didn't have formal vocal coaching. He started his career in ballet and moved over to musical theater. (Read his biography here: http://www.josephclark.co.za/biography.html)  Joseph made an already special song even more personal when he dedicated the song "The show must go on" to his brother who recently passed away. He does an amazing Queen cover. It felt like Freddy was right there in the room, but with Joseph's own authentic "all-in" feeling added. He has his own Queen show in July at 'Kerk sonder Mure'.

Vicky Sampson had an African dream in 1995. Her rendition of this classic, proudly South African, legendary song inspired us all to revisit the African dream in our hearts. She amazingly rewrote the second verse in Afrikaans, especially for Capital Singers, and also masterfully sings Whitney Houston and Gloria Gaynor. She is an inspiration to artists to keep on improving and reinventing themselves.

Capital Singers is many a singer's small beginning. To be part of something so spectacular for the love of corporate singing...  Audiences joining in and singing along makes it all the more fun. Fostering untold dreams in their hearts. 

Stop dragging your feet! Let Capital Singers inspire you as it has inspired me to make that call, have that coffee and start today to make your dreams a reality! Partner with like-minded people who share your passion, make it happen.

Join in by supporting the next amazing Capital Singers, Iconic:





Melissa, over and out!

Die klippie in my skoen - geskryf deur iskra

Wat 'n knaende verraad! Daardie klippie in die skoen. Daardie ding wat krap en pla en mens soms verleë laat. Dis 'n pes as jy dalk jaag van hier na daar, soveel dinge wat aan jou trek; jou aandag vat; daar is nie tyd nie! Vir jou om net te kan sit, skoen uittrek en die verdomde ding uitgooi! Pfffeeeu...! Wat 'n verligting as hy eers weg is! So klein dingetjie met soveel praat in sy kneuse...daardie klippie in die skoen. (Talk about rubbing me up the wrong way!) Ons het almal maar ons klippies. Klein goedjies wat haak en pla. Daagliks knaag dit aan ons..maal dit rond in ons koppe, laatnag, wannneer ons eintlik moet slaap... Ons veiligheid. Ons kinders se toekoms, gesondheid. Hoe gaan jy hierdie maand daardie rekening betaal? Jou huwelik of 'n vriendskap is dalk op 'n snaakse plek of selfs naby skipbreek? Dalk ons eie gesondheid wat 'n lelike rapport gekry het... 'n finale een...wat jou asem weggeruk het...wat jou, die mense om jou, dae en minute met '

Vir Die Voëls - Premiere & Resensie

#NasieInspirasie was genooi deur Starburst Promotions na die Premiere van "Vir Die Voëls" - 'n Film wat gebasseer is op die ware verhaal van Irma Humpel en Sampie De Klerk  (Vertolk deur  Simoné Nortmann  en Francois Jacobs - Foto) Sou mens kyk na die diereryk en die natuur in geheel is daar beslis baie lewenswaarhede wat daaruit gering kan word. So word dit ook vertel in die nuwe film en impakvolle storie van Irma Humpel en Sampie De Klerk, se "Vir die Voëls . Huisgenoot het hulle 100ste bestaansjaar gevier, 'n kompetisie geloods en lesers genooi om hulle liefdesverhaal te deel. Huisgenoot vertel die wenner se storie op die silwerdoek met behulp van Kyknet en Factory Films. "Vir die Voëls" vertel die ware verhaal van Irma Humpel (Simoné Nortmann), ’n korrelkop-rabbedoe wat in ’n trourok voor die kansel beland langs die seun wat haar kleintyd onophoudelik geterg het. Tot kort tevore was haar kop op ’n blok dat onafhanklikheid die enigste vorm van

#Bakgat Gesondheidsbeskuit

My ouma het altyd gesê: “As jy kan lees, kan jy bak”. Ek het dit altyd geglo en wyd en syd verkondig, maar vandat ek self begin bak het vir ‘n lewe, het ek agtergekom dat jy meer leer met ondervinding as wat enige resep jou kan vertel. Soos ek dan nou hierdie resep met julle deel, deel ek dan ook my ondervinding, wat ‘n paar vrae dalk vir julle sal opklaar en natuurlik die mite dat beskuit moeilik is om te bak van die tafel afhaal. Bestandele: 1kg Bran Rich Self Raising Flour  (of gewone self raising flour as jy nie so baie van semels hou nie) 10ml Bakpoeier 10ml Sout 125ml Klapper 250ml Sonneblom sade 100ml Rosyne 50ml fyn gekapte neute van jou keuse 500ml All Bran Flakes  (goedkoper bran flakes ook goed, maar proe nie so lekker nie) 250ml Suiker (wit of bruin, maak nie saak nie) 500ml Oats (maak nie saak watter ‘brand’ nie) 500g Botter (gesmelt) 500ml Karringmelk Hierdie is die basis waarvan af ek werk. As ek nie bv. Oats of rosyne het nie, sal ek dit vervang met dieselfde
