The Orchestra Week was launched in 2011 to promote interaction between
German schools abroad in Southern Africa and to place music more strongly in
the foreground of everyday school life:
About 120 learners from the participating schools, namely the German
schools of Cape Town, Pretoria, Johannesburg, Hermannsburg, Addis
Ababa/Ethiopia and the Deutsche Höhere Privatschule Windhoek - meet bi-annually
to make music together and present their
skills to the audience in a large closing concert.
The aim of this
initiative is to strengthen the community and the team spirit, to promote
encounters, social competence, discipline and creativity and to anchor music
even more firmly in the everyday school life.
In concerts and performances, learners can gain self-confidence and stage experience.
In 2019, the DHPS will host the Orchestra Week. We expect about 120
learners and their teachers and will again compile a joint programme, which
will then be presented at the final concert on 8 March 2019.
Such a major event
requires the commitment of the entire school community. In addition to helping
hands and host families, we also need financial support and in return offer our
sponsors attractive advertising space within the framework of the Orchestra Week
of German Schools in Southern Africa (
see info brochure).

We would like to say thank you to all helpers, host parents, supporters and sponsors for your contribution to this magical musical event.
