‘Ovation Red Carol’ comes to town

Ovation International Magazine,  regarded by many as the continent’s premier celebrity journal, will for the first time,  host its famous Ovation Red Carol event in Accra.

Scheduled for Saturday, December 14,  at the State House Banquet Hall, the Ovation Red Carol will bring together   top-rate celebrities and business moguls from across the continent to be filled with a lot of music and fun. It is an invitation-only event in support of charity.  

 The Accra programme would be the sixth Ovation Red Carol  and it is themed:  It’s All About Hope. 

The Winneba Youth Choir, who are celebrating  their 25th anniversary,  and other star performances from Ghana and Nigeria will also take to the stage.

“The Red Carol has for years been the biggest end- of- year event in Nigeria and we are certain that this Ghana adventure will be even bigger,” an Ovation magazine official said.

This year, the  Ovation Red Carol honours the late Professor Kofi Awoonor.  There will also be a special tribute to Nelson  Mandela.
