🎄 ABOUT "CHRISTMAS WITH THE MARIONETTES 2025" 🎄 For 62 years and counting, faithful patrons have proclaimed: “Christmas begins with the Marionettes”! As has become a cherished, multi-generational Christmas tradition in Trinidad, the Marionettes Chorale’s adult and youth choirs returned to the Winifred Atwell Auditorium at Queen’s Hall in Port of Spain, Trinidad over the first weekend of December (Friday 5th to Sunday 7th December, 2025) with their eagerly anticipated holiday concert — all under the batons of Gretta Taylor, Joshua Joseph, and Dr. Nathan Nagir. The series (including the group’s special weekend matinée performance for care homes around the country) was proudly supported by One Caribbean Media Ltd; Flow (Columbus Communications); AVIT Support Ltd; Music Radio 97.1FM; and bpTT. 🎄 PROGRAMME • SONG LIST 🎄 00:00 FIRST HALF • Senior Choir How Can I Keep From Singing?
