Marionettes Chorale
The Marionettes regularly raises funds for charity, and in the last 10 years has donated nearly TT$2 million in aid of victims of domestic violence, regional hurricane relief efforts, cancer treatment and prevention, mentoring and rehabilitation programmes for at-risk youth, care for those with HIV/AIDS and the terminally ill, and the restoration of national monuments. Throughout the year, they partner with organisations from all sectors of society to present fundraising concerts; guest at charity events; and each year host a gala fundraiser for their holiday Christmas concerts. A highlight for Marionettes in those series is also the traditional special Saturday matinée, a free performance for senior citizens and children from institutions across the island, which care for some of our society's most vulnerable - including orphanages, hospices, nursing homes, and facilities which care for the differently abled.
