ChildLine Christmas Concert

The ChildLine Christmas Concert returns to the Perth Concert Hall on Thursday 3 December, with the first note sounding at 19:30. This year marks its 23rd edition, put on by NSPCC Scotland and Perth & Kinross Council Education & Children's Services.

The evening is built around Christmas music, carols and popular classics performed by local children and young people. The Perth & Kinross Instrumental Music Service provides a variety of ensembles, including the Perth Youth Orchestra, which share the stage with choirs and bands. It's a charity concert, and the proceeds go to support NSPCC's Childline service.

Because the performers are local, the night is as much about the people on stage as the music they're playing. You'll see the Perth Youth Orchestra alongside choirs and bands, all coming from the Perth & Kinross Instrumental Music Service. The set pulls from the familiar: Christmas music, carols and popular classics, the kind of programme that works for all ages.

Tickets are £22.50, with under-16s at £12.50, both including a £2.50 booking fee per ticket. Advance booking is required through the Box Office, and the concert takes place in the Gannochy Trust Auditorium at the Perth Concert Hall on Mill Street, PH1 5HZ.
