Following much anticipation, the final line-up for Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight® presented by Woolworths has been announced.
Popular TODAY show host Lisa Wilkinson will be joined by Mornings presenter David Campbell to present the family concert in its 78th year, featuring everyone’s all-time favourite Christmas carols.
Joining Lisa and David will be the 2015 Carols by Candlelight Ambassadors, Taylor Henderson and Christie Whelan-Browne.
Set to take the stage along with this year’s ambassadors, are a host of Australia’s most loved and talented entertainers including Delta Goodrem, Anthony Callea, Tim Campbell, Ellie Drennan, Lauren Phillips, Marina Prior, Silvie Paladino, David Hobson, Denis Walter, Daryl Braithwaite and the cast of Georgy Girl.
Making her debut at Carols by Candlelight and joining this year’s line-up is Karen Jacobsen, better known as ‘The GPS Girl’ and the voice of Apple’s ‘Siri’.
The Legends of Rock will also heat up the stage, with Wilbur Wilde, Jo Camilleri, Ross Wilson and Wendy Stapleton bringing a rock and roll twist to the Sidney Myer Music Bowl. Of course no Carols would be complete without Santa, who has confirmed he will be making a special trip to the bowl on Christmas Eve.
Once again, Carols by Candlelight will be conducted under the guidance of John Foreman as musical director and one of the show’s producers.
“Proceeds from Carols by Candlelight go towards helping children across Australia who are blind or have low-vision, and this year we are asking people to be the light and donate to help show these children that their future is bright,” Vision Australia's CEO Ron Hooton said.
Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight presented by Woolworths will be broadcast live from Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl on December 24 from 8.00pm on Channel Nine. People can donate to Vision Australia by visiting www.carolsbycandlelight.com.au
