Revelations for the season
View(s):Sri Lanka’s premier male vocal ensemble, The Revelations will herald the season with “He is Christmas” on November 30 and December 1 at the Lionel Wendt Theatre.
“We have named our concert ‘He is Christmas’ because we would like to re-focus Christmas on the Lord Jesus Christ, and the message He brought us, ” said Leader/Choral Director of The Revelations Sanjeev Jayaratnam, in a press release.
“That being said, we are also having the more popular secular Christmas songs as well as some songs with accompaniment, to bring out the majesty and grandeur of those compositions,” Sanjeev added. “The Revelations Academy Kids and also the adult choir are performing together with The Revelations which is a first, as well as them performing as guest artistes. We have also invited the popular youth choral outfit “Choro Calibre” as guest performers.”
The accompanists will be Neranjan De Silva on keyboards and Christo Prins on drums.Manager of the Revelations, Priyan De Livera recalled how the group have been performing for 18 years and said they are humbled by the fact that they still draw capacity audiences. “We are extremely grateful to them as well as to all who have sustained and supported us over the years. We have always attempted to innovate and keep changing our repertoire constantly to satisfy our diverse audiences and we cherish the opportunity we have, to do what we love- which is to perform, and make our audiences happy.”
