YOU could hear a pin drop as the conductor raises her arms, the eyes of the children standing in a half-circle formation in front of her glued on her next command.
Then she moves her hands and the choir bursts into a perfectly harmonised rendition of Las Amarillas, the traditional Mexican song by Stephen Hatfield.
It’s enough to bring goose bumps to your flesh and a lump to your throat – a beautiful sound filling the room from a chorus of exceptional voices.
Listening to them rehearsing at Goodwood Park Primary School in Cape Town, it’s easy to see why the Tygerberg Children’s Choir (TCC) has been making waves lately.
