All under the baton of music maestro John Foreman AM, assisted by Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight choirmaster Doug Heywood OAM.

Plus, performances from the Australian Girls Choir and the National Boys Choir under the artistic direction of Peter Casey, who is celebrating 51 years with this wonderful event.

Carols by Candlelight presented by Priceline Pharmacy is Vision Australia’s largest annual fundraiser, with 100 per cent of profits from ticket sales and donations going towards services for children who are blind or have low vision. This year their Carols by Candlelight Matching Appeal aims to make Christmas four times brighter by having all donations quadrupled in a 24-hour period over Christmas.

Prior to Carols by Candlelight, viewers will be treated to a screening of Baby It’s Christmas, a Christmas Eve singalong special with David Campbell at 7.30pm on Nine and 9Now. The family affair will see special guests Jimmy Barnes, Diesel and Mahalia Barnes performing with David, along with Rick Price – who wrote the title track for the album of the same name – and The Kingdom Choir, who won global fame after performing at Prince Harry and Meghan’s wedding.
