Canonuser Loc: UK and South Africa
 
For years, my wife and I have supported the Tygerberg Children’s Choir from Cape Town, South Africa. They are rated the No1 children’s choir in the World.
A few years back they went to Cincinnati to compete in an international competition (that they won). On the way they stopped off in New York to give a concert. The following day they did a tour of the City. At Ground Zero the choir stopped off and sang Nearer My God to Thee. There were lots of people there, many of whom were in tears. At the end of their performance there was total silence for several seconds before everyone burst into rapturous applause. It was an incredibly moving moment.

Beautiful. Played by the ship's band as the Titanic was sinking. Every member of the band died.

I can only hope it gave some comfort for the men that gave up their seats so that women and children would live.

Thank you - one of my favorites.
