There was a Christmas concert in the convention hall of Sosúa Bay Casino last Friday December 12.
The concert was organized by members of the Culture House (Casa de Arte) Sosúa with support from the municipal government.
At half past eight every chair in the main hall was occupied with expectant music lovers.
Among them, the mayor Ilana Neumann, the tourism director Lorenzo Sancassani and the president of the Association of Hotels and Restaurants (Ashoresoca) Mr. Thomas Callender.

After some short speeches by, among others Adolfo Faringthon, director of Casa de Arte, the Christmas concert opened with a dance performance, under the supervision of Herminia Ticé, from toddlers.
It was very touching to see the girls from 3 years up doing their ballet dances.
This was followed by a performance of the older ballet girls.
The little ones were all beautifully dressed in pink, the older girls were dressed in black.
Silent Night, Holy Night
Next there was a rendition of Handel by the violin orchestra.
The 20 violinists played under the direction of conductor Manuel Molina really very beautiful.
And to think that the violinists have only had one year of violin lessons from Venus Guerrero and Williams Pequero.
Then there was a performance of the truly beautiful singing Municipal Choir under the direction of Manuel Molina again.

The announced performance of opera singer Angela Cruz was canceled due to health reasons.
To round off the evening the choir and the violin orchestra along with the ballet dancers a gave a beautiful rendition of "Silent Night, Holy Night".
This elicited so much enthusiasm and applause from the audience that a repetition followed.
The violin orchestra, the choir and ballet girls have only been practicing for a year now, but the result are of an astonishingly high level!
I love Sosúa
