• ABOUT CHRISTMAS WITH THE MARIONETTES: CELEBRATING 60 •

For 60 years, 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 Queen’s Hall in December 2023 with their anticipated holiday concert to ring in the festive season! Led by Artistic & Musical Director Gretta Taylor, supported by an outstanding and exciting team including Dr Roger Henry, Caryll Warner, Khadija Huggins, Joshua Joseph, and Caroline Taylor, the Marionettes usher in a spirit of love, community, and festivity. Part of the group's 60th anniversary season (which runs July 2023–July 2024), the series was supported by TTT, Flow and bpTT, and recorded by Heaven Sent Productions at Queen's Hall, Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago.
