[Pan Times]

Trinidad & Tobago, W.I. - Ray Holman, esteemed composer, arranger and pan player is bringing back the old time days with his first annual Christmas 2011 musical presentation, “A True Trini Christmas” on Thursday December 8 at 6.30 pm at the newly remodelled Little Carib Theatre.

He says, “This show is being billed as a “True Trini Christmas Show”, therefore patrons can expect to hear all genres of Christmas music that we Trinis enjoy hearing at Christmas time.” 

He added that patrons will be treated to an evening filled with parang and Christmas Carols as the musical journey will be filled with traditional favourites, as well as some recent Christmas compositions by him. 

....Holman said of his first annual concert, “I am very excited about this Christmas project which allows me to share with the public the Christmas music that we all love. I will be introducing Christmas compositions of my own which will be sung by some of my special guests.”
