Spread holiday cheer with Marionettes - Butch and Allan Limchoy
NORMALLY, at this time of year the BP Marionettes Chorale would be preparing for live shows at Queen’s Hall, St Ann s. However, for the first time in just over 50 years, the group has had to explore a different approach to spreading holiday cheer.
Starting this weekend the Marionettes will present Christmas with the Marionettes – your way! specially produced for television and online platforms. The virtual holiday concert will feature the chorale through the years in all its musical and visual splendour, said a media release.
In March, when rehearsal plans were aborted for the annual mid-year concert series as a result of restrictions by the covid19 pandemic, the group looked for alternative ways to stay connected with supporters. It began uploading some of its most popular past concerts to its YouTube channel for viewing at no cost.
