50 Angelic Voices: Presentation Brothers College choir aims to inspire with music, faith, culture and Caribbean pride

Sweet symphonies of music are set to flow throughout each of the ten administrative regions, as 50 voices from Grenada prepare to sing in unison.
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Georgetown, through St Pius X RC Church-Guyana, is honoured to welcome the Presentation Brothers College Choir (PBC Choir) from Grenada, who will be visiting Guyana from July 24 to August 3, 2025.
The PBC Choir is an all-male ensemble comprising over 50 current and past students of Presentation Brothers College in St George’s, Grenada.
This special visit promises to be a time of fellowship, worship, hope, cultural exchange, and inspiring music.

Speaking to this publication, Musical Director Halim Brizan shared how the choir began and how they have since progressed to performing internationally.
According to Brizan, what began as a small school initiative has blossomed into a vibrant musical movement that champions discipline and hope.
For 17 years, they have distinguished themselves through musical excellence, Catholic witness and a deep commitment to preserving and promoting Caribbean culture. He explained that Presentation Brothers College is a Catholic secondary school known for its high academic standards and values-based education.
In keeping with the charism of the Presentation Brothers, the school encourages holistic development—intellectual, spiritual and creative. The choir is one of its most visible and impactful Ministries, providing a platform for boys to express themselves while upholding Catholic and Caribbean values.
Offering his perspective on why they chose Guyana as a destination, Brizan said that a main part of this is due to the fact that he is here serving as a great connection for the team to showcase their talent in Guyana.
“First and foremost, I’m also a part of the St Pius community—the Catholic Church. And this year is particularly significant. The Church is celebrating the Universal Jubilee Year of Hope. A Jubilee Year is a special year of grace, traditionally occurring every 25 years. It dates back to Old Testament times, where every 50 years was considered a time for freedom of captives, rest for the land, debt forgiveness and a return to justice and mercy, this is why”
He described the choir members as “pilgrims of hope” coming to spread messages of love, peace, unity, endurance and faith in God—bringing spiritual upliftment wherever they go.
Following their concert at Our Lady of Fatima, the PBC Choir will also perform at the Echoes of Freedom Concert on Thursday, July 31, 2025, at 7:00 PM at the National Cultural Centre.
The special event, held on the eve of the Emancipation holiday, promises an evening filled with powerful harmonies, Caribbean rhythms and messages of hope and liberation. The concert invites the wider community to come together in celebration of freedom, faith and cultural heritage through the inspiring voices of these talented young men.
As they bring their voices to Guyana in July 2025, the PBC Choir continues its mission: to be a shining light for others, to represent Grenada and CARICOM with pride, and to empower young men to use their gifts in service of something greater. Under the leadership of Administrator Olympia Lewis and supported by a strong network of alumni, the choir has captivated audiences both locally and internationally.
Their notable appearances include three CARIFESTA events, a royal performance for Prince Harry, and performances at high-level CARICOM meetings, including the Conference of CARICOM Heads of Government (July 2024) and the 2nd Caribbean Heads Meeting on Climate Change and the Environment (2023).
In 2022, the choir received a standing ovation at the wedding of Hollywood actress Aisha Hinds and was featured in a viral video post by R&B singer MAJOR.
Over the years, the PBC Choir has become a national symbol of youth excellence in Grenada, frequently called upon for high-profile state events, national celebrations, and community outreach. Their appearances at events such as National Independence Day celebrations, state funerals and interfaith services underscore their role not just as performers, but as ambassadors of hope and unity.
The choir’s rich and diverse musical repertoire includes classical, gospel, folk, reggae, calypso, R&B, and traditional Caribbean music—reflecting their commitment to musical and cultural richness. They often collaborate with local Grenadian artists and perform at the island’s top venues, especially during festive seasons.
The PBC Choir will grace Georgetown, Guyana, with a special concert hosted by St Pius X Roman Catholic Church. The performance is scheduled for Sunday, July 27, 2025, at 5:00 PM at Our Lady of Fatima RC Church, Bourda.
