Discount Offer: St George’s Concert Series

by Brandicoot
April 20th, 2012

Sign up to receive our regular on-line Newsletter and you can get a 20% discount on tickets to a fantastic concert in St George’s Cathedral, Perth next Friday evening.

St Georges Discount OfferHeritage Perth is very proud to be associated with presenting a musical offering, in way that has never been done before in St George’s Cathedral.

On Friday, 27 April at 7.30 pm, the St George’s Cathedral Consort will perform a choral concert entitled ‘Lux Aeterna’, which includes works by  Pizzetti, Barber and Lauridsen.

Centre piece of the concert will be a classic new American choral piece, ‘Lux Aeterna’, which is a light-filled continuum of sacred texts, old world structures and new world spirit intertwined in hope.    It is a beautifully written score that evokes a generosity of spirit and reminds us to expect the unexpected.

This concert offers a journey for the audience’s eyes as well as their ears. In another ‘first’ for the Cathedral, Heritage Perth is providing a visual accompaniment that will be screened with the performance of ‘Lux Aeterna’.    The visual journey will follow the light, shade and darkness of the music through the Heritage of the City of Perth.   The audience will have an opportunity to see buildings they may not have thought about for a while, maybe never seen, or never seen like this before.

Wi-Fi Technology Brings Perth’s Heritage Alive

by Brandicoot
May 15th, 2009

World Heritage Day in Perth marked the beginning of a new era in the way people can access information about the many historic buildings in the city centre.

With the launch of the Heritage Perth Hi-Tech Heritage Trail on Saturday, 18 April, 2009 by State Heritage Minister, John Castrilli MLA and the Lord Mayor of Perth, Lisa Scaffidi, people can use twenty-first century technology to take themselves on a tour of some of the most significant heritage buildings in Perth.

This Australia-first initiative utilises modern wireless Internet technology to create a ‘state of the art’ heritage trail around the centre of Perth. Residents and tourists alike are now able to download, free-of-charge, the colourful stories of significant places directly to their Wi-Fi enabled mobile devices in the form of text, audio and still images.

The trail had been developed by Heritage Perth in conjunction with the City of Perth, Lotterywest, Heritage Council of WA and Perth-based communications company, iiNet. There are currently 10 heritage places that can be downloaded from the Heritage Perth website including Perth Town Hall, Perth Mint, McNess Royal Arcade, Gledden Building, Wesley Church, A.W. Dobbie Building, His Majesty’s Theatre, Barracks Arch, The Cloisters and Old Perth Boys School.

To find out more, click here to visit the Heritage Perth Hi-Tech Heritage Trail web site.

New Study on Economic Benefits of Tourism

by Brandicoot
May 15th, 2009

A new report, commissioned by the Heritage Council of Western Australia, Heritage Perth and the City of Perth, with support from the Tourism Western Australian, and undertaken by Curtin University’s Sustainable Tourism Centre, shows just how much the tourism economy benefits from the heritage sites of Perth.

Economic Value of Heritage Tourism in the City of Perth, WA, 2008 builds on previous studies by assessing the benefits of heritage tourism within the City of Perth. The report concludes that approximately 37% of total visitor spend in Perth is attributable to heritage tourism. Put in financial terms, this equates to a staggering $350 million spent annually. These statistics add further to the growing weight of evidence that shows heritage sites are an asset to the community rather than the burden they are often made out to be.
