~ A Night Of Acoustic Delight ~

Hear some soul-soothing, tear-jerking, heart-warming Christmas repertoire (with the usual pinch of TION humour).

This December The Idea of North will present 'Christmas Ballads By Candlelight' at the beautiful Paddington Town Hall.

Christmas Ballads By Candlelight is a show full of gorgeous Christmas music presented in stunning acoustics and surrounded by twinkling candles. Don't miss it! 

Get in quickly to secure your tickets.

Some very talented students from Newtown High School of Performing Arts and Napean High School will entertain you as you arrive prior to the concert. We awarded the two groups, 'The Newtones' and 'The Vocal Company' Gold at our inaugural Vocal Festival (presented by The Arts Unit NSW) for high school choirs this year and we want you to hear them! They'll also help us to get you all singing in four-part harmony later on in the evening.
