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.
Preparations are in full swing for the 11th edition of Carols by Candlelight in Santu Wistin - Gozo. This is one of the main events in Schola Cantorum Jubilate’s busy schedule, a concert which evolved to become one of the finest cultural activities to be held in Gozo during the Christmas season.
Today, Schola Cantorum Jubilate officially launched the eleventh edition of ‘Carols by Candlelight’ by a press event.
The organisers together with the main sponsor met the journalists at ‘Vini e Capricci’ (Wines and Whims) within Abraham’s Complex in Xewkija, Gozo.
Schola Cantorum Jubilate gave a concert yesterday at Saint Paul’s Anglican Cathedral in Valletta. The concert preceded a three-day Master Class with Glen Dempsey, an organ scholar at Saint George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, where he also conducts and accompanies the world famous choir. Choristers had the unique opportunity to imbue from the exceptional English choral tradition.
