your voice matters

Your Voice Matters does not only refer to your physical voice, but also to the fact that you have a unique and significant place to fill in this world. Your opinion, your beliefs, your contribution to your family, community, workplace... it matters. YOU matter!

about us

At Karisma Performing Arts we specialise in music education. This includes individual and group vocal coaching, as well as seminars, workshops and masterclasses in choral music. Artist management is another exciting part of our business, developing singer-songwriters and launching their careers. We also stage live music events, including choir festivals and gigs for contemporary singers, always providing quality performance opportunities for singers and ensembles from all over.


johan bester

founder and director

"It has been such a privilege to work with thousands of voices over the past 30 years. I have learnt the truth of what a powerful instrument and tool the human voice is. All this experience provided me so much opportunity to develop my specialised approach and ability to delve deep into the heart of each individual. Discovering your true voice is a life long journey, and one that is only possible if you and I are truly honest about who we are."


We have a patreon page!

Patreon is an independent platform where thousands of content creators, educators and entertainers freely share their work with followers. Apart from the massive impact it will have on your own personal growth and development as a person, by making a small monthly financial contribution towards the growth of an entity, you can help shape the future of it.

our choirs

Working with amateur and professional vocal ensembles in various countries for over three decades now, we specialise in establishing and developing choirs of many kinds, building an educationally sound and sustainable culture. Some of our choirs have performed with world class orchestras and conductors, as well as in exclusive world premieres. We love staging large choral events to provide excellent performance opportunities, as well as presenting workshops and masterclasses to help choirs grow to the next level.
