This Saturday, the Harare International Conference Centre will host an extraordinary musical event: The Vine Choir @10 Concert and Live DVD Recording. This concert celebrates The Vine Choir’s decade-long journey in the music industry.
The event will feature multi-award-winning American gospel singers and songwriters Jekalyn Carr and VaShawn Mitchell. These acclaimed artists will join a stellar lineup from around the world to mark The Vine Choir’s milestone anniversary.
The concert is free for attendees, thanks to generous sponsorship. Interested individuals can secure their seats by registering on a free platform. This initiative ensures that fans can enjoy the event without any financial barriers.
The Vine Choir was founded in 2014 under the directorship of multi-award-winning gospel musician Everton Mlalazi. Their debut album, “Musandipfuure,” was released in 2018. Four years later, they followed up with a live-recorded 12-track album titled “The Great Physician.” This album featured collaborations with the South African Grammy award-winning Soweto Gospel Choir, Mzansi gospel singer Mahalia Buchanan, Mabongi Mabaso, and a 40-piece orchestra.
Mlalazi expressed his excitement about the upcoming concert, which will be recorded for a commemorative DVD release later this year. “Double the excitement, double the blessing. We are thrilled to have top American gospel singers and songwriters Jekalyn Carr and VaShawn Mitchell celebrating The Vine’s 10th anniversary with us,” he said.
Speaking about the concert planning, Mlalazi assured that preparations are underway to ensure a flawless production. “As we embark on this extraordinary musical journey, planning is going according to script. From intricately designed staging and captivating lighting arrangements to impeccable sound coordination and logistical orchestration, every detail is being meticulously crafted to bring this monumental event to life,” Mlalazi stated.
“This not-to-be-missed musical extravaganza promises to be one of the biggest productions ever hosted in the vibrant city of Harare. We are excited to showcase the talents of local musicians, as well as performers from South Africa and Germany,” he added.
The concert will feature a magnificent ensemble, including a 100-piece orchestra from Johannesburg, a 30-piece brass section, a 30-member choir, and 30 children from the Adventist Pathfinders. Additionally, UK-based Zimbabwean singer Blessing Annatoria Chitapa will join to support The Vine Choir in this significant celebration.
Mlalazi, a member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, emphasized the theme of the event, “Great is Thy Faithfulness.” He said it reflects their deep gratitude for God’s unwavering faithfulness and guidance throughout their musical journey. “Through this theme, we express our heartfelt appreciation for the blessings and opportunities that have brought us to this momentous occasion,” he noted.
The Vine Choir’s journey has been marked by exceptional achievements and collaborations, and this anniversary concert promises to be a grand celebration of their accomplishments. The inclusion of international artists highlights the global appeal and recognition of The Vine Choir’s music.
