R E S T

Chandelier Productions together with conductor and composer Michael Hudlin, will host its tenth production “R E S T”. It will feature choral and solo performances of classical and spiritual music in a programme that will model a Requiem; a mass done in memorial for those who have died. In so doing, the production will pay homage to known Arts Advocate and Marketing Specialist Janine Charles-Farray who passed away in October 2022.

“R E S T” is also intended to be a representation of an artist’s creative journey. The production’s musical conductor Michael Hudlin stated: “This production’s concept grew from an artist’s feeling of intense burnout. Although we (artists) do what we love, it takes a significant toll on us every time we put our work on stage. That is why there is a need for ‘rest’ along our journey.” As such, Hudlin handpicked a selection of musical pieces, specially designed to convey a feeling of ‘rest’. The programme will also include an original composition written for Janine Charles Farray, that will be performed by Tiana Chandler.

The cast of “R E S T” includes some of Trinidad’s finest and most acclaimed vocalists with musical accompaniment by Jessel Murray (keyboard) and Martina Chow and Kayla Persad (flute).
