The spectacular stage is set for Rotary Grenada’s Carols by Candlelight, which will be held on 4 December at Quarantine Point.
This year’s concert theme is based on Motown Christmas music genre and boasts a star-studded performance line up of talented Grenadian vocalists, musicians and dancers, brought together just for this occasion.
Multiple award-winning producer and director, Richardo Keens-Douglas, MBE, is directing the production. According to Executive Producer, Richard Strachan, a past president of the Rotary Club, “Richardo brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in musical productions. We guarantee an exceptional show featuring some of Grenada’s leading talents.”
Richardo Keens-Douglas’ infamous story, The Nutmeg Princess — Grenada’s first fairytale — was adapted into a musical for the stage. It won the DORA Award, Canada’s Highest Theatre Award, for Most Outstanding Musical in 1999. He is no stranger to the Grenada stage and has directed and produced the Carriacou Maroon Festival, Tourism Expo, National Carnival Queen shows, Panorama shows, Dimanche Gras, Kiddies Carnival and The Cultural Fiesta for independence in Grenville, to name a few.
On stage will be some of Grenada’s best male vocalists, including Gospel Challenge finalist, Jeverson Ramirez; winner of Grenada’s Best Talent, Jonathan Francis; Best Contemporary Male Vocalist, Jonathan James; BET Talent Search finalist, Kellon Brathwaite; and singing sensation, Dennison Andrew.
The fairer sex won’t be outdone with the likes of Soul, Jazz and Blues singer, Jenny J; R&B singer Kamela Stephens; Soprano Lisa Mc Donald; Thamara St Bernard who opens shows for many international singers; as well as singer/songwriter, Tammy Baldeo.
