Mark your calendars for a spectacular New Year's Eve celebration with a charitable twist! The iconic Vienna Pops New Year's Eve Concert, presented by Rotary Perth, is back at The University of Western Australia (UWA) this year, promising an unforgettable evening of music and generosity. Get ready to be enchanted by world-class performances while contributing to meaningful causes.
This special event, held annually in UWA's renowned Winthrop Hall, is a testament to the long-standing partnership between UWA and Rotary Perth. On December 31st, the community is invited to immerse themselves in a musical extravaganza, all for a good cause. The concert showcases the extraordinary talent of the Vienna Pops Orchestra, led by the renowned pianist and conductor, Mark Coughlan. Prepare for an evening filled with uplifting classics, humor, and the iconic midnight countdown.
But that's not all! The event also features the talented local sopranos, Beth Redwood and Bella Marslen, whose international profiles are rising rapidly. Adding to the excitement is the young rising star, 15-year-old Audrey Jarvis. The diverse lineup ensures an unforgettable musical experience.
The proceeds from this grand fundraiser will support two vital initiatives. Firstly, the Salvation Army's programs aimed at empowering women and children affected by domestic violence. Secondly, the establishment of the Barry Marshall Research Institute for Infectious Diseases, honoring the Nobel Laureate, Professor Barry Marshall AC, and advancing research to protect community health.
Jill Dawson OAM, President of Perth Rotary, emphasizes the transformative power of philanthropy. "This year's support for the Barry Marshall Research Institute highlights how philanthropy can drive research that saves lives. The Institute will not only celebrate Professor Barry Marshall's groundbreaking discovery but also empower future researchers to combat emerging infectious diseases." This project exemplifies Rotary Perth's dedication to enhancing community well-being and fostering global research.
Attendees can choose between an afternoon matinee or the full gala experience, which includes a magical New Year's Eve finale. For those seeking an even more exclusive experience, VIP tickets are available, offering premium seating, canapés, drinks, and the chance to mingle with the conductor and performers post-show. Early booking is advised, as this event traditionally sells out quickly.

VIP tickets, including premium seating and pre- and post-show receptions, are available for $250 directly through Rotary Perth. Secure your spot by emailing email protected.
