Ring in the New Year with a Spectacular Gala: Paladino, Paulini, and Piterman Join Forces at Hamer Hall!

As the countdown to 2024 begins, Melbourne is set to sparkle like never before! This New Year’s Eve, prepare for an unforgettable celebration as renowned performers Paladino, Paulini, and Piterman join forces with the illustrious John Foreman and his Australian Pops Orchestra for a dazzling Gala Concert at Hamer Hall, Arts Centre Melbourne. With performances on both December 30th and 31st, this is the perfect way to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new with joy, music, and excitement.


A Star-Studded Line-up

Get ready to be mesmerised by the extraordinary talents of Paladino, Paulini, and Piterman. Each artist brings their unique flair to the stage, promising an evening filled with breathtaking vocals and captivating performances. 

Chatting to the stars, John Foreman says, “Silvie Paladino is one of the greatest voices in the world, (as Silvie laughs and tells him to stop it). It’s true and anyone that has recently seen Silvie in Sunset Boulevard will know this. Silvie will sing alongside Paulini and Josh Piterman with our 60-piece Australian Pops Orchestra, and I just cannot wait.” 

Silvie adds, “we are so lucky with this group, it’s a group of real singers and with this Orchestra it’s going to be spectacular.

I asked John how he chooses the singers each year for his New Year’s Eve shows and he says, “It starts with the voices. We have three powerhouse voices they’re all slightly different, different tamba and different tone, and this will work so well together.”

Paladino, known for his powerful voice and charismatic stage presence, is sure to deliver an unforgettable experience. Paulini, a powerhouse vocalist with an incredible range, will enchant the audience with her soulful interpretations and vibrant energy. 

Paulini says, “I’m excited to be part of this cast, New Year’s Eve is my second favourite time of the year. I love everyone coming together to celebrate the New Year and we get to do it with song. I’ll be doing some Whitney and Tina Turner and we’re going to get people dancing.”

And let’s not forget Piterman, whose magnetic charm and dynamic performance style will add an extra layer of excitement to the evening. 

Josh says, “I did this concert a few years ago and I’m excited to do it again. It’s about giving the audience a spectacular time. I’ll be singing all the hits, some Phantom, Les Mis, and Bocelli.”

Together with the renowned John Foreman, who has orchestrated some of Australia’s most memorable musical moments, this trio is set to create a concert experience that is nothing short of spectacular. The Australian Pops Orchestra will provide a lush and vibrant backdrop, elevating each performance to new heights and creating a rich, immersive atmosphere that will resonate with audiences.
