Councillor Loraine Alexander welcomed all to His Worship the Mayor's Annual Christmas Concert where the Mayor serenades guests in commemoration of the season. According to Mrs. Alexander, the Bishop Anstey High School Choir was selected to serenade the Mayor's guests because of its magnificence over the years including the fact that it received the coveted Prime Minister's award for the past 10 years and was victorious in the Music Festival this year.
His worship, the Mayor of Port of Spain, Mr. Murchison Brown brought greetings to all his guests and thanked them for choosing to share in the experience.
