You know how the end of the year tends to sneak up on you? Well, we’re turning the tables this year and getting Christmas going now. Take that, Christmas!

If, like us, you're a little over all that stuff cluttering up your home, The Idea of North provides you with the opportunity to give the gift of music to you and your loved ones this year.

The Idea of North presents 'Christmas Ballads By Candlelight' at the beautiful St. David's Cathedral in Hobart. Christmas Ballads By Candlelight is a show full of gorgeous music presented in stunning acoustics and surrounded by twinkling candles. Join us, for an end-of-year event that promises to make you feel all the feels: Fizzy. Squishy. Misty. Classy. Laughy. Singy. Festivy.

This year we are so very pleased to have our astounding vocal percussionist KAI KITAMURA with us for the entire festive season. All the way from Tokyo, Kai’s musical, subtle, often hilarious mouth drumming is the perfect compliment to The Idea of North’s audience-pleasing mix of songs you love (given facelifts), and new songs introduced to you with TION’s trademark warmth, humour and emotive depth.
