This Christmas Eve, David Campbell and Sarah Abo return to present Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight, presented by AAMI, live from the Sydney Myer Music Bowl on Tuesday, December 24, at 8.00pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
Each year, Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight brings families together as a cherished Australian tradition, featuring some of the biggest stars in music and musical theatre, all generously donating their time to support Vision Australia.
This year’s stellar lineup includes the dynamic and award-winning vocals of Anthony Callea, the cast of Sister Act starring Casey Donovan, World music star Dami Im, star of TINA – The Tina Turner Musical, Ruva Ngwenya, ARIA Award winner Emma Memma, 2024 Golden Guitar nominee and Australian Idol winner Dylan Wright, plus music sensation Bonnie Anderson, much loved entertainer Tim Campbell and many more.
The brilliant Carols family returns, including Marina Prior, Silvie Paladino, David Hobson, and Denis Walter.
“Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight is something I look forward to every year. It’s truly one of the highlights of the festive season. I’m thrilled to be a part of this incredible event once again, especially knowing that it supports such an important cause,” said Campbell.
“Raising funds for people who are blind or have low vision through Vision Australia makes this night even more meaningful. It’s a chance to spread joy and make a real difference in the lives of those who need it most.”
“I’m absolutely thrilled to be hosting Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight again alongside David in my hometown of Melbourne. It’s such a wonderful night, and I can’t wait to celebrate Christmas Eve with everyone,” said Abo.
Carols by Candlelight is Vision Australia’s biggest annual fundraiser for children’s services, with 100 per cent of profits from ticket sales going directly towards supporting close to 2,000 families with children who are blind or have low vision.
