The place to be this New Year’s Eve is with the Australian Pops Orchestra at Hamer Hall. Some of Australia's most beloved voices including Caroline O’Connor and Mark Vincent are joining John Foreman and the much-loved Australian Pops Orchestra for The New Year's Eve (& The Day Before) Gala Concerts.
Multi award-winning, internationally renowned Broadway musical theatre star Caroline O'Connor brings her dazzling stage presence and show-stopping vocals, fresh from the world's great stages. Joining her is Australia's favourite tenor Mark Vincent, the golden-voiced singer who captured the nation's heart on television and with his chart-topping albums. The final special guest artist will be announced later in the year.
For more than 45 years, the Australian Pops Orchestra has presented a unique blend of popular classical and contemporary music to Australian audiences.
