The end of the year is drawing near, and already the spirit of Christmas is in the air.

For those in Melaka, you can get into the mood for the festive season by singing along to timeless Christmas carols in a soulful setting.

This December, join international chamber choir Cantus Musicus and the choir of St Mary’s Church for “Carols At Twilight”, an unforgettable evening of classic Christmas music performed at the beautifully restored 19th century rustic chapel of the Church of St Mary in Kampung Ayer Salak.

The event, organised by Melaka Classics, will see Cantus Musicus singing a variety of Advent-themed songs. The 22-member choir will be singing mostly a ca****la, with some songs accompanied by organ.

“The idea for ‘Carols by Twilight’ actually came about in 2024, when we hosted a choir concert in St Mary’s Chapel for the very first time,” Melaka Classics co-founder Cassel Krishnan told FMT Lifestyle.

Event: “Carols at Twilight” (featuring Cantus Musicus with a special performance by the choir of the Church of St Mary)

Carols will be sung in various languages, from charming and familiar English classics, to quirky and unique carols from beyond. This evening upholds the tradition of bringing people together to share in the festive Christmas mood.

In the festive spirit, we are making entrance freely accessible to all! (by freewill donation) Ticket reservations are required due to limited seating capacity. Proceeds will go to the Church of St Mary building fund, as well as to the furtherment of the Arts in Malaysia.

Exploding Stars: An Evening of Evocative Soundscapes for Violin & Piano

Join internationally renowned violinist Darragh Morgan and acclaimed pianist Mary Dullea for a captivating evening of music in Melaka, featuring a dynamic and diverse programme spanning the late Romantic, 20th-century, and contemporary repertoire.

From the smoky tangos of Astor Piazzolla to the impressionistic shimmer of Debussy and Lili Boulanger, and the spiritual minimalism of Arvo Pärt, this recital showcases the full expressive power of violin and piano. Highlights include Linda Buckley’s immersive Exploding Stars for violin and electronics, and Yii Kah Hoe’s deeply personal work for violin and tape.

Anchoring the programme is Franck’s monumental Violin Sonata with other gems include Heifetz’s electrifying arrangement of Gershwin’s It Ain’t Necessarily So, and Deirdre McKay’s meditative Secundum.

Darragh Morgan is one of the leading interpreters of contemporary music for violin, having performed as soloist at major festivals including BBC Proms and Aldeburgh, and with ensembles such as the London Sinfonietta and The Ulster Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland and more. Mary Dullea is a celebrated soloist and chamber musician, known for her advocacy of new music and her role as pianist with the Fidelio Trio. She is also Director of Performance at Royal Holloway, University of London.

This is a rare opportunity to hear two of Ireland’s most distinguished musicians in Melaka! For tickets, visit bit.ly/explodingstars25

Melaka Classics brings a romantic journey through two piano quartets by Robert Schumann and Robert Kahn!

Step into a world of rich Romantic expression with an evening of piano quartets by two remarkable German composers. Robert Schumann’s Piano Quartet in E-flat major, Op. 47 stands as one of the most beloved chamber works of the 19th century, a lyrical and dramatic journey full of heartfelt intimacy. Paired with it is the lesser-known yet deeply rewarding Piano Quartet in A minor, Op. 30 by Robert Kahn, a student of Brahms whose music sings with warmth, clarity, and emotional depth. This recital offers a rare chance to experience two masterworks that speak across generations—united by tradition, yet distinct in voice.
