The University of the West Indies St. Augustine Campus will host a special seasonal performance titled “Last Christmas: J9’s Legacy” on December 6th, marking the farewell concert for longtime ensemble director Dr. Jeannine Remy. The event will commence at 6 PM at the RBL Building on campus.
This year’s production signifies the culmination of Dr. Remy’s influential tenure, during which she has mentored and shaped multiple generations of student musicians. The performance promises to deliver a vibrant musical experience that blends innovation with tradition through creative arrangements and original compositions.
The program will feature diverse musical selections ranging from contemporary film music including “Show Yourself” from Frozen 2 to traditional holiday favorites such as “Carol of the Bells” and the perennial classic “Sleigh Ride.” The evening aims to create an atmosphere of rhythmic energy, nostalgic reflection, and festive celebration.
Adding cultural depth to the performance, The UWI Arts African Drumology group will present a powerful rhythmic component that introduces an authentic African musical dimension to the holiday celebration.
