Vocalize’s 7th Annual Charity Concert, in aid of the Order of St John

As a Finalist for Mr. Gay South Africa 2014, I feel that it’s important to raise awareness and provide support to all organisations that do good and support the less-fortunate. Mr. GSA should be a person that is admired by all communities for his kindness, generosity and support. He should be an ambassador not only for the LGBTIAQ community but also for all other communities.

I am fortunate to be able to support “Joy Sounds” presented by “Vocalize” in order to raise funds for the Order of St. John. Please come and join me with this exciting lineup of artists: Louis Prima, Duke Ellington, Lennon & McCartney, The Beach Boys, Rodgers & Hart, Leonard Cohen, and The Real Group... all entertainingly arranged for voices in close harmony.

Vocalize is proud to present their 7th Annual Charity Concert, in aid of the Order of St John.

The Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem, commonly known as the Order of St John, is one of five mutually recognized orders of St John. Revived in the United Kingdom in the mid 19th century, the Order of St John is able to trace its origins back over 900 years to the Knights Hospitaller. 

Since those early days, the Order of St John has grown into an international non-profit, non-denominational organizations comprising over 30 000 members worldwide and operating in almost 40 countries including South Africa, the United Kingdom, USA, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.

In South Africa, the Order of St John is represented by the following foundations:

•    St John Ambulance Foundation

•    St John Ophthalmic Foundation

•    St John Training & Education Foundation

"Joy Sounds" is a programme that celebrates the joy of vocal harmony, from the jazz techniques of improvisation, vocalese, scat and vocal percussion, to the lushest 5-part harmonies. The entertaining show will cover classic showtunes, jazz and swing numbers, and the best in a cappella arranging!

The concerts will be held at the stately Glenshiel in Westcliff, one of Johannesburg's famous historic homes, which was built for Sir William and Lady Dalrymple in 1908. The show starts at 8.00pm on Saturday evening, and 4.00pm on Sunday afternoon. A glass of wine, coffee and tea will be served during the interval. Safe parking is available in the grounds of Glenshiel.

Proceeds from the evening will go towards the Order of St John, which is based at Glenshiel and cares for people through First Aid training and Eye Care clinics, amongst other good works.

Tickets: R150 per person
