Cessnock Performing Arts Center Reopened This Weekend
The evening of entertainment was led by musical maestro Greg Paterson, alongside some of the Hunter's finest vocalists and musicians.
Cessnock Performing Arts Center kicked off its 2022 season this past weekend with a launch event on February 4.
The evening of entertainment was led by musical maestro Greg Paterson, alongside some of the Hunter's finest vocalists and musicians - including Rob McDougall (Les Misérables) and Dave Thompson (Australian Army Band Newcastle).
A mainstay of the entertainment scene in the Hunter for decades, Greg was recognised in 2020 for his service to the Performing Arts - in particular for music - when he was awarded an Order of Australia Medal (OAM), in addition to multiple CONDA awards over the years in recognition of his outstanding work as Musical Director.
Greg led a seasoned 15-piece big band to deliver a songbook of timeless classics that everyone will know and love, including hits from Elvis, Tina Turner, Olivia Newton-John, The Andrews Sisters and Tom Jones.
A selection of canapés and sparkling wine were served in the foyer from 7.15pm, followed by a musical showcase from 8pm.
