‘Music is part of us all. It is an expression of who we are and binds
us together’, states Aviva Pelham, as she returns with the hugely
successful concert Diamond Diva, to share and celebrate a significant
milestone in her musical career.
Through her passion for outreach and development, this production
showcases some of the projects Aviva is immensely proud to be involved
with. They include; Voice of the Nation Ad Hoc Vocal Ensemble, Cape Town
City Ballet, Cape Town Male Voice Choir, Dance for All, Amy Biehl
Foundation Singers, Herzlia Vocal Ensemble and S.A. Circle of Dance
