The story

The Rise Gospel Celebration Lesotho in Maseru

A recurring Easter-season gospel music celebration held in Maseru, part of a touring Southern African series with editions in other countries, that brings choirs, soloists and worship bands together at the South African High Commission grounds for an evening built around collective praise rather than competitive performance.

The Rise is a touring gospel music celebration with editions across several Southern African countries, and its Lesotho chapter has become a recurring fixture on Maseru's calendar, having reached at least a fifth edition held at the grounds of the South African High Commission in the capital.

The mystery stays covered

Staging the Maseru edition on diplomatic grounds at the South African High Commission gives local gospel artists rare access to production values and audience reach beyond what individual churches can typically offer on their own
