The Seychelles Ministry of Tourism and Culture and their National Arts Council gathered the representatives of the island’s musicians, choirs, musical bands, and known musical personalities at their offices at the National Cultural Centre in Victoria to discuss the launch of the end-of-year festivities set for December 7, which everyone hoped should also be the date when the decorative lights though Victoria will be switched on.
The meeting was chaired by Minister Alain St.Ange, the island’s Minister responsible for Tourism and Cultural himself, and he was accompanied by Ms. Benjamine Rose, the PS for Culture; Mr. Jimmy Savy, the CEO of the National Art Council (NAC); and Mr. Rassin from the Mayor of Victoria’s Office.
Minister St.Ange said the Ministry of Tourism and Culture of Seychelles Ministry was working with the Office of the Mayor, the community of artists, and choirs to mark the 2013 end-of-year festivities with an evening with a difference.
“We need to work with the community of artists, and we need to work with our country’s choirs to make this 2013 end-of-year festivities one that will set the stage for the years to come. Christmas and the end-of-year celebrations remain dear to us as a people and as a country, and we owe it to ourselves and to our country to provide a launch of these celebrations where families, where young couples, where the elderly can all come together for a musical spectacle with Christmas songs, carols, and end-of-year songs by our professionals accompanied by budding artists. We all know when the community of artists decide to come together, what a magical evening they can stage for Seychelles,” Minister Alain St.Ange said.
“At this second meeting, the representatives of the island’s musicians, choirs, musical bands, and other known musical personalities all agreed that the time is right for everyone to come together to give Seychelles a family evening out with entertainment, fun, and end-of-year Christmas and the arrival of the New Year songs we have all loved and cherished throughout our lives,” Minister St.Ange said.
Mr. Jimmy Savy of the NAC discussed the setting up of the show management as Mr. Patrick Victor, the representative of the Musicians Associations, echoed his commitment for the “Christmas with the Stars” evening, and the representatives of some choirs agreed to all come together for a spectacular night also with carols.
The organizers in Seychelles Ministry promised some real surprises for that evening where Victoria will see a display with musicians arriving on stage by means never seen before by the general public.
