Drakensberg Boys Choir at New College Chapel in Oxford

The New College Chapel in Oxford is a place of sanctuary, of ancient words and music, of peace and contemplation, and is open to everyone. When William of Wykeham, Bishop of Winchester, founded New College at the end of the fourteenth century, he placed the service of God at the heart of College life. The Chapel was made the most inspiring of the College buildings and provided a permanent choir to support its worship.

The mission of the Drakensberg Boys Choir School (DBCS) is to prepare boys for life and leadership through excellence in music, academics, sports, and social enrichment in a Christian environment. Life at DBCS builds character and moulds and develops boys to harness the gift of music to bring hope, impact, and positive change in South Africa and beyond. DBCS offers a unique, complete, and diverse schooling experience that will forever change the life of every student, or Drakie boy as they are affectionately known, by being part of this centre of excellence. DBCS builds resilience, grows relationships, and fosters global ambassadors with music as the tool for God’s glory.
