The curtain call at NOEL: Christmas for the Marionettes 2015!
The 130 singers of the BP Marionettes’ adult, youth, and children‘s choirs are back at Queen’s Hall come 7th–10th December with their anticipated Christmas concert, I Dream A World. Tickets are already going fast, with the first online ticket orders coming through in early September!
A cherished Christmas tradition
It’s no wonder, as the Marionettes annual Christmas concert has become a cherished annual tradition for many in Trinidad. For over 50 years, their faithful patrons have declared that “Christmas begins with the Marionettes”. Audiences can look forward to the choirs weaving the musical magic of Christmas through an uplifting and festive programme of classical, spirituals, gospel, musical theatre, and popular local and international Christmas favourites under the batons of Gretta Taylor (Hummingbird Medal Gold) and Dr Roger Henry. Fans of talented soloists like Jacqueline Johnson, Hermina Charles and Gillian Seecharan — as well as young Annalise Emmanuel, Dominique Akal, and Aysiah McEachnie-Assing — will certainly not be disappointed.
Music for a cause
Part proceeds of I Dream A World go to the Living Water Community’s hurricane relief efforts in Dominica and Barbuda; and part proceeds will go to the Marionettes Property Fund as the group seeks to build a home of their own. The series is supported by Flow, CNMG, and by the Marionettes’ title sponsor since 1972, bpTT.
