Ticket giveaway - Ring in 2016 with the Australian Pops Orchestra NYE concerts

ONE of the most popular end of year events in Melbourne, the New Year's Eve Concert Series is performed by the magnificent 65-piece Australian Philharmonic Orchestra at Melbourne Arts Centre's Hamer Hall.

Affectionately known as the Aussie Pops, the orchestra presents 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 the master of ceremonies Denis Walter in song throughout the evening for the concert which is now in its 34th year.

Joining the orchestra to herald in the New Year 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 1,000 performances with orchestras both 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.

The Senior has two double passes to give away to the 2pm performance on December 31.

Entries close 5pm AEDST December 11, 2015.
