2022 SEASON
West Australian Symphony Orchestra respectfully acknowledges the
Traditional Owners, Custodians and Elders of the Indigenous Nations across
Western Australia and on whose Lands we work.
OUR SEASON
There is nothing quite like the thrill of experiencing a great orchestra
in full flight in a great hall. It’s visceral, exciting and moving.
We’re fortunate that we can continue to have live music connect us
and in 2022 we celebrate this with masterworks, world premieres
and exceptional guests from around Australia and across the globe.
This season includes a complete program of Masters, Classics and
Morning Series and a diverse range of Special Events.
I am so happy to conduct some of my very favourite works in 2022,
including Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem, Stravinsky’s The Rite of
Spring and Mahler’s Symphony No.3.
2022 also features much-loved classics including Vivaldi’s Four
Seasons, Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending, Saint-Saëns’ Organ
Symphony and Elgar’s Cello Concerto.
We’re proud of our 2022 WASO Season and of the inspirational
community activities we deliver, enriching the lives of so many
West Australians.
In every way, this is music to move you.
