Since music in the Victorian era had begun to really spark interest in new songs and more performances, it was natural to see people create and write songs that revolved around Christmas. It was during this time that many carol singers could be seen going from house-to-house singing the new songs of that time period, such as Oh! Little town of Bethlehem, Oh! Come all ye faithful, and away in a manger.

The Galle Face Hotel Colombo has made elaborate plans for a wonderful evening of Christmas Carols which will be held on Friday, 21 December at the Patio. You could listen to all time favourite Christmas classics brought to life by Choro Calibre and Metho Cantanty choirs during the evening.

Some of the most popular Christmas carols like ‘away in a manger’ is always the first carol that children are taught. The carol was originally published in 1885, Hark the Herald angels sing, Joy to the World, the world’s popular Christmas carol which is based on Psalm 98 in the Bible, Once in Royal David’s city and Silent night will be sung by the Choristers on 21 December at the Patio.

A delicious and a mouth-watering snack buffet with seasonal favourites will be on offer during Carols at the Patio for all guests. It is priced at Rs. 900 per person.

To brighten up the event Santa will arrive during carols and distribute sweets for kiddies who will be in the hotel on 21 December. For inquiries please call the special events desk on 2 541010 ext: 4444.
