Twilight at Taronga tickets selling fast!
From the world class vantage point of a harbour-side amphitheatre, the Twilight at Taronga series will return this summer for its 20th anniversary edition - today announcing a landmark musical program to span each Friday and Saturday night from Friday 30th Jan through Saturday 21st March.
Celebrating the Sydney summer with breathtaking 180-degree harbour views, Taronga Zoo will present performances from iconic Australian artists including Bernard Fanning, Paul Kelly presenting Merri Soul Sessions, You Am I, Sarah Blasko, Dan Sultan, Something For Kate, international guests Belle and Sebastian, Conor Oberst and Rufus Wainwright and many more.
While boasting Twilight at Taronga’s most modern and eclectic program yet, the series remains an all ages affair, where concertgoers are invited to pull up a picnic blanket and enjoy delicious hampers curated by renowned chef Giovanni Pilu, available to pre-purchase online.
“We’re thrilled to be introducing Twilight at Taronga to a new generation of audiences with this vibrant line-up,” says Paul Davies, Taronga’s General Manager Marketing, Fundraising and Commercial Services. “It’s the first time in our history that we’re introducing big-name international and contemporary artists to complement our regular favourites and we hope this will pique the interest of younger festival-goers while keeping our regular patrons coming back for more.”
Twilight also welcomes back fan favourites Bjorn Again, the James Morrison Big Band and ARIA Award winner Anthony Callea will celebrate the songs of George Michael with his full band on Valentine’s Day.
Across the series, a striking new visual identity designed by iconic Australian artist and Mosman local Ken Done will be on display at the already picturesque site, further establishing Twilight at Taronga as an essential Sydney experience.
As part of the 2015 re-vamped Twilight at Taronga series, free public transport is included in the price of all tickets - covering bus, rail, light rail and ferry from Sydney metropolitan areas. The best way to get to Twilight at Taronga is a short 15 minute ferry ride from Circular Quay on one of the dedicated routes that will be running continuously from 5:00pm until 11:30pm; alternatively take advantage of the extra buses transporting guests to Spit Junction departing the Zoo from 9:30pm.
Profits from the series continues to support the Taronga Conservation Society Australia, whose ongoing work is experienced by the Zoo’s 1.5 million Australian and international visitors each year.
