Cessnock seniors will be ringing in the festive season this November with singing sensations Amy Lehpamer from the musical & Juliet, Arlo Sims, Liz Player and Emily Kate, from The Voice, and Will Skarpona from the Conservatorium of Music.
The stars will feature in two free concerts as part of the NSW Seniors Christmas Concerts taking place at the Performance Arts Culture Cessnock on Thursday 12 December 2024 at 10am and 1pm.
The regional concerts are an annual highlight of the Christmas period and an opportunity for seniors to get together to enjoy a spectacular show and sing along to festive favourites.
Cessnock is one of three regional centres this year to host the NSW Seniors Christmas Concerts, with other shows taking place in Broken Hill and Moree.
The concerts are part of the NSW Government’s wider celebration of seniors and their contributions, that include the annual Seniors Festival, Gala Concerts and Expo. Our vision is that all people in NSW experience the benefits of living longer and enjoy opportunities to participate in, contribute to and be included in their communities.
Free tickets to the NSW Seniors Concerts will be available from Tuesday 15 October 2024. For further information go to: seniorsfestival.info/christmasconcerts

“The annual Seniors Christmas Concerts bring the spirit of the festive season to regional NSW, featuring some of our best talent and fresh new faces.
“The NSW Government is proud to deliver these free shows to seniors which are sure to put them in the mood to celebrate the season.
