Amazing Grace: The Soweto Gospel Choir
3 July, 8pm, St Paul's Cathedral, £10-£30, 020 7246 8350, www.stpauls.co.uk
Part of the City of London festival, this 26-strong choir formed in 2002 and has enjoyed major overseas success.
They have been to these shores previously, appearing at last year's Edinburgh Festival where they were among the top-selling acts.
The group is made up of talented vocalists from across the churches of Soweto and despite being a relatively new collective they have already won a Grammy award in the US.
The most famous hymn within their repertoire is Amazing Grace, which was written by John Newton who died 200 years ago in 1807.
