The cream of the crop of South African choirs have been selected to perform in the prestigious final of the National ATKV-Applous competition. The Eunice Vitae Cantamus Senior Choir is one of the finalists in the Prestige (highest) category for Girls’ Choirs.
What makes this such an incredible honour and achievement is the fact that Eunice is also the Eunice Vitae Cantamus Senior Choir the only high school choir to represent Bloemfontein and the Free State in the final!
This honour was bestowed upon the Eunice Vitae Cantamus Choir. It is after their unforgettable performance at the Applous Regional Final in Bloemfontein. At this occasion they received gold.
Other schools
The choir consists of 56 girls. They will compete against Clarendon High School for Girls from East London. The other schools they will compete against are Hoër Meisies Bloemhof, Stellenbosch and Hoërskool Stellenberg, Durbanville. The final will take part in the Cape Town City Hall on 27 July. The ATKV-Applous competition is the oldest choir competition in the country. This year they are also celebrating 47 years!

We would like to congratulate the Willem Postma choir who is the only other Bloemfontein and Free State representative chosen to perform in the final. They will compete in the Primary School (Merit) category. We are extremely proud of you and we will see you in Cape Town!”
