Support Your Orchestra
The West Australian Symphony Orchestra is primarily funded by the Federal Government through the Australia Council and the State Government through DCA. The other major source of funding for the Orchestra is through our partnerships with the West Australian business community. This is an essential component of WASO's overall funding requirements.
