GEORGE, SOUTH AFRICA (November 2011) – It is time to deck the halls again and the Hyatt Regency Oubaai Golf Resort and Spa is hosting their annual Carols by Candlelight on 2 December to raise funds for the Garden Route SPCA.
On the eve of 2 December 2011 at 18h30 the amphitheatre at the Hyatt Regency Oubaai Golf Resort and Spa will be transformed into a magical world of candlelight and melody as the sounds of Christmas fill the air and lighten spirits.
Along with the classical prowess of local artist Voldi George, the world-renowned Southern Cape Children’s Choir and the Oubaai Choir, guests are invited to come and light a candle and celebrate the festive season, family and the beautiful melodies of Christmas time.
Born and raised in George, Voldi has a passion for entertaining people with his musical talent. He started his career at the George Arts Theatre under the direction of Denise Swanepoel. From performing at the KKNK, Nederburg Arts Festival and reaching the top 50 of the very first Idols competition, Voldi then took his talent across the sea to showcase to American audiences. Now, finally he has found his way home again.
To most Georgians, the Southern Cape Children’s Choir needs no introduction. Winners of national and international choir competitions, this wonderfully gifted group of children conducted by Jan-Erik Swart never fail to impress with their awe inspiring repertoire of music, ranging from classical masterpieces to modern day pop culture favourites.
Christmas time is a time for family, loved ones and togetherness as we ponder a year gone by. To a lot of people, family is not family without the heart of the home, their pets. The SPCA is an organisation with a heart for stray and abandoned pets, and the funds raised through this event will go far to ensure they can stay vigilant and conscious of the needs of our furry and much loved family members. So come and light a candle and share in the season of giving by supporting the Garden Route SPCA.
Tickets are available at R20 per person at the Hyatt Regency Oubaai Golf Resort and Spa and include a candle. Various food stalls and children’s entertainment will be available at the venue. No bookings are required so invite your friends, your loved ones and especially your family and start the festive season off in good spirits with heart warming carols by candlelight. Pet presents are also welcome!
