As in previous years, the most awaited Christmas event in Gozo - Carols by Candlelight was featured on Ghawdex Illum. This TV programme is produced by CVC Media house on Malta's national TV station. The choir leader was interviewed and recounted what occured during this year's editions.
On the 3rd Sunday of Advent better known as the Gaudete Sunday, SCJ members were invited by Fr. Joseph Curmi the vice-Parish Priest of Nadur to anmate the 10.30am Mass.
The 11th edition of Carols by Candlelight was another success. The event, organized by Schola Cantorum Jubilate established itself as one of the main attractions in Gozo during the Christmas season. Basically, it opens the festive season in Gozo. Preparations began immediately after the Modern Music Days Concert in Saint Paul’s Pro-Cathedral in Valletta earlier on in October this year.
For this year concert of Carols by Candlelight, Paul A. Stellini was asked to take the role of artistic director. After discussing the repertoire and theme, Paul brought about his ideas for this eleventh edition. He wanted to create a different setting from the previous editions and focusing on the theme of Peace, he suggested that the set will have an industrial look. He will use scaffolding and LED screens projecting images and films portraying themes linked with the carols that will be interpreted during the concert.
‘Carols by Candlelight’ organisers met Mr. George Apap who this year was entrusted with the exhibition which will be held at the Priory’s foyer on the events dates. Below please find Mr. Apap’s childhood memories which are kept alive in his drawings.
