From the centre of Perth to the furthest corners of the state, we have provided the soundtrack to lif

e in WA since 1928. As the State Orchestra, Perth’s first and finest, WASO is the largest employer of performing artists in Western Australia and reaches more than two million people each year with musical experiences on stage, in our community, and online. From concert halls to classrooms, hospitals to aged care, we bring joy, inspire learning, and nurture participation in our community, because everybody deserves the opportunity to experience live music. Every year, through community and leading industry partnerships, we engage a new generation of young and emerging artists to help secure a bright future for music in Australia. We celebrate our rich classical music heritage with great artists from all over the world and commission and perform new repertoire to renew and expand it. The Orchestra collaborates widely with major arts companies and independent artists, performing opera to ballet, movies to musicals, jazz to rock. We champion the diversity of music in all its forms, with a team of talented and passionate people who create unforgettable experiences for all West Australians to enjoy. Asher Fisch is Principal Conductor and Artistic Adviser of our Orchestra and we are proud to call Perth Concert Hall home. West Australian Symphony Orchestra respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Custodians and Elders of Country throughout Western Australia, and the Whadjuk Noongar people on whose lands we work and share music.

15 schools. 3 weeks. 4,667 students. Our WASO String Quintet continued bringing live orchestral music directly into classrooms across Perth this May.

Students experienced a diverse program featuring Mozart, Grieg, the Bluey theme, and even Golden from KPop Demon Hunters.

From classical favourites to modern pop culture hits, these performances gave thousands of students the chance to experience the excitement of live music up close.
