Over the past few years, The New Victorians performed and produced two runs of their Christmas Chapel Hop; a Sold-Out tour of concerts in different Chapels around Malta throughout the festive season. Performing reimagined local hymns and carols whilst celebrating our local heritage, the Chapel Hop has become a popular staple within the season’s calendar.

This year, through a collaboration with the office of the Archbishop’s Delegate for Culture, the project has grown. Not only will the takeover be for churches and audiences of a larger scale, but a multicultural choir has also been assembled to accompany the sister duo. Voices from the Filipino, Ukrainian and Nigerian communities in Malta have all been rehearsing together with Philippa and Bettina, their band, and other choir members from Malta, for what promises to be an even bigger and more special spectacle than what audiences have flocked to in previous years.
Across churches in Santa Venera, Qrendi, Valletta and Żebbiegħ, the 20-strong ensemble will harmonise with The New Victorians and band in what promises to be a beautiful new version of the project. This year’s twist was conceived in order to create greater awareness of the untapped talent that exists within Maltese society and set a precedent for future intercultural opportunities. The project has been supported by Dance Beyond Borders, celebrating diversity through a safe space of community.

The Christmas Chapel Hop 2024 has only been made possible with the support of Farsons Foundation, Deloitte Foundation, Malta International Airport, APS Bank, Bolt, Best Team Audio, Visit Malta, Welbees and Olimpus.
