About this event

Candlelight brings Michael Jackson's catalogue to life at Adamstown Uniting Church via a string quartet arrangement. This is a tribute concert — not affiliated with Jackson's estate or official representatives. Sixty minutes of his biggest tracks (Billie Jean, Thriller, Man in the Mirror, and more) under candlelight in an intimate church setting. Doors half an hour before the show; no late entry once it kicks off.
