The director and soprano Marouska Attard interpreted ‘O Holy Night' (Adam) and ‘The Little Road to Bethlehem' (Head). The evening included also two reading about Christmas which were read by the parishioners. There was a standing ovation at the end of the concert by the audience who was so welcoming and encouraging. Schola Cantorum Jubilate gave an encore with the popular carol ‘Joy to the world'. After the concert, there was a reception where the choir members met the congregation which was keen to talk to the choristers about the outstanding performance.
