Member for Davidson, Jonathan O’Dea has welcomed the details of this year’s Premier’s Gala Concerts for NSW Seniors.
NSW Premier Mike Baird and Minister for Ageing John Ajaka have announced the 2015 Premier’s Seniors Week Gala Concerts will be held on 17 and 18 March at Qantas Credit Union Arena (the Sydney Entertainment Centre).
Mr O’Dea said, “The Premier's Gala Concerts are held each year as a gift for the hard-working and well-deserving seniors of New South Wales.
“The concerts have a fine tradition of providing a fantastic show for seniors, with great music by world-class Australian performers and lots of spectacle.”
This year, the theme will be ‘Viva Las Vegas’, reflecting the years of Frank Sinatra, Elvis and the Rat Pack to today’s showstoppers featuring artists such as Tom Jones, Celine Deon and Elton John.”
This year’s cast will include three of Australia’s leading stage performers - Kate Maree Hoolihan, star of 'We Will Rock You' and ‘Little Women', Michael Falzon, star of 'We Will Rock You', 'War of the Worlds' and 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch' and Matt Lee, Star of 'Mary Poppins' and judge on television’s 'So You Think You Can Dance'.
The Premier’s Seniors Week Gala Concerts will be held on Tuesday 17 March at 4.30pm and Wednesday 18 March at 10.30am and 2.30pm. A concert for NSW seniors groups at 11.00am on Tuesday 17 March has already booked out.
The free tickets for NSW seniors will be available through Ticketek from 10.00am on Thursday 22 January 2015. They can be booked in person at participating Ticketek outlets or at www.ticketek.com.au/nswseniorsweek and Westfield Concierge desks. Bookings are also available by phone on 1300 130 613 for the cost of a local call.
Mr O’Dea said, “I recommend booking tickets online if you have access to the internet and email. This system is quick and easy, with 65% of concert patrons now obtaining their tickets online.”
Attendees must be NSW residents aged 60 years of age or older. People with a lifelong disability and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are classified as a senior if they are aged 50 years or over.
