This December, The Lydian Singers, a renowned choir, will captivate audiences with their 2025 Christmas musical production, ‘De Chile Faddah – The Nativity: Joseph’s Story.’ Scheduled for December 13 and 14 at Queen’s Hall in Port of Spain, this production offers a bold and moving perspective on the birth of Christ, seen through the eyes of Joseph in a contemporary Trinidad and Tobago setting. Written by Bernard Shepherd SC, ‘De Chile Faddah’ breathes new life into the familiar nativity story with a uniquely Caribbean voice. It delves into Joseph’s emotional and spiritual journey as he embraces his role as the father of a child not biologically his. The production features original music, inspiring choral performances, and powerful storytelling, blending cultural authenticity with timeless themes of love, faith, and fatherhood. Directed by the acclaimed Davlin Thomas, the show boasts a stellar cast, including Kareem Forde as Joseph, Curtis Gross as Nick, Antonio Modeste as Gabriel, and Uchena Mayers as Mary, with cameo appearances by Jean, Dina, Rosita, and Clementina. Audiences can also look forward to stirring dance performances by the North West Laventille Cultural Movement. ‘De Chile Faddah’ is more than just a Christmas concert; it’s a heartfelt celebration of hope, responsibility, and divine purpose, brought to life through the music and drama that only The Lydians can deliver. Showtimes are 7 pm on December 13 and 6 pm on December 14. Tickets are available from Lydian Members, at the Queen’s Hall Box Office, online at IslandE tickets and Queen’s Hall online platform, or by reservation via messaging at 253-7464.
