Affectionately known as the Aussie Pops, the orchestra performs a selection of popular classical and operatic music to raise the roof and spirits of enthusiastic concert goers as they see out the old year and welcome in the new.
Led by the baton of Australia's celebrated conductor John Foreman, guests this year will be entertained by master of ceremonies Denis Walter in song throughout the evening.
Joining the orchestra will be the stunning voice of New Zealand bass-baritone Teddy Tahu Rhodes and Australian soprano Greta Bradman, alongside special guest artists from the Victorian Opera.
With a rapidly growing international career, Teddy Tahu Rhodes' recent credits include South Pacific for Opera Australia and the title roles in The King and I and Don Giovanni, while Greta Bradman is known for her extraordinary vocal stamina and skill, having presented more than 1000 performances with orchestras in Australia and internationally.
The New Years concerts have become a tradition in Melbourne with Australian Pops Orchestra presenting its unique blend of popular classical and contemporary music to Australian audiences.
Every concert is a special event featuring fine music by world-class artists and performed across some of the nation's major concert venues.
