Flimkien ghal Ambjent Ahjar (FAA) is opening the Christmas season in style with an evening of festive food and music at the Augustinian Priory in Rabat. The Priory is not usually open to the public, but on Friday, 12 December the friars of the Augustinian Priory will be opening their doors exclusively to guests of FAA, who will enjoy a candlelit carols concert and Christmas dinner.The Voca choir will open the evening with a celebration of Christmas music at St Mark's Church, built in 1588 by Girolamo Cassar. Following the concert, guests will be invited to continue the evening in the cloister surrounding the central courtyard of the Priory built by Andrea Belli in 1740. Welcome drinks will be served on arrival and a four-course Christmas meal inclusive of coffee, wine and water prepared by Belgian caterer Bart Saive will then be served in the cloister. The evening offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a Christmas celebration in these very special surroundings. Proceeds from the evening will go towards the restoration of a magnificent medieval four-panel altarpiece which is owned by the Priory. This beautiful 15th century piece of art is being restored by an expert restorer sponsored by FAA.For more information visit www.faa.org.mt
