The story

Music in the Mountains in Drakensberg

Music in the Mountains is an annual concert weekend hosted by the Drakensberg Boys Choir School in the Drakensberg foothills of KwaZulu-Natal. It combines performances by the internationally touring choir with guest artists, doubling as both a cultural event and a fundraiser supporting the choir school's music education programme.

The Drakensberg Boys Choir School's own website could not be read this session: fetching it directly returned a JavaScript application shell with no extractable text, the same technical barrier that blocked several other South African festival sites built as modern single-page web apps.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

02

The mystery stays covered
