By now, everyone has no doubt heard of ‘Carols by Candlelight’ which for the past five years has been one of the main productions of Schola Cantorum Jubilate.
It all started in 2003 when the organizers thought of doing a Christmas Concert in a different way. The very popular Australian event of ‘Carols by Candlelight’ interested them and upon seeing that it was so much acclaimed by the Maltese audience, they continued surprising everyone with its production year after year. Interestingly enough is the fact that it was always presented in different ways: different settings, different lightings, different carols?and surprises never lack.
The event mainly consists of a Christmas Concert followed by a Gala Dinner, and all proceeds are donated to the Guzeppa Debono Home of Ghajnsielem, Gozo. This home gives warmth to those babies born to single mothers. Support is given also to the mother herself, and to her family or partner. Moreover, nowadays, they even take care of fostering and adoption procedures.
‘Carols by Candlelight’ is being held on Saturday the 15th of December at St. Augustine’s Monastery in Victoria and starts at 7.30pm. The first part, that is the concert, will be held in the Church which with its fine acoustics creates the ideal ambience for such a concert. Candles and special lights settings will be set under the supervision of the Artistic Director Austin Camilleri.
Following the concert, there will be the gala dinner inside the renaissance cloister of the monastery which again will be decorated for the occasion. Then traditional food freshly and delicately prepared by the Ta’ Frenc Restaurant Chefs will be served. Some good wine and traditional seasonal cakes will complement the evening. On reaching the cloister, those who attend can admire modern paintings exhibited in the foyer by the Gozitan artist Christopher Saliba.
The seating for ‘Carols by Candlelight’ is limited, so anyone interested should buy a ticket (for the concert and dinner) from D’Amato Records Shop in Valletta or from Bargate Bookshop, Victoria. Ticket Hotlines: 79094232 / 79271226. For further information please send an email on info@.scjchoir.com.
