World renowned for leading South Africa’s first 500-voice multiracial and multicultural performing group to help promote Nelson Mandela’s election in Post-Apartheid South Africa, Sharon Katz is a guitarist, singer and composer from Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth/ Nelson Mandela Bay) in South Africa. A multiple award-winning film, When Voices Meet was made about Katz’s social activism.

In recent years, she has facilitated musical projects with children living on the USA Mexico border, who survived torture and trafficking rings in San Diego and Tijuana. Sharon has conceived and directed productions with orchestras, and choirs in South Africa, the United States, Cuba and Mexico and has many albums to her credit including the most recent “We Can Be The Change” and “For You.”

This year she’ll be publishing a multi-media songbook, “Songs and Stories of Sharon Katz & The Peace Train” featuring ten of the Sharon’s songs along with choral parts, guitar chords, and archival photographs of The Peace Train project. The book also features QR codes and links to videos and recordings of the songs. Look for the book’s physical and digital release on all platforms on September 18^th.

Songs from the new Songbook will be performed at the upcoming concerts, as well as songs from other albums that have been on the Grammy ballot. She will include favorite covers from South African superstars, most notably Miriam Makeba.
