WASO Regional Tour

Our complete Orchestra will present sublime, dramatic and exhilarating music by two of the most loved composers of all time in Geraldton and Kalgoorlie this November as part of our 90th Anniversary celebrations. We are thrilled to feature WASO’s acclaimed Concertmaster Laurence Jackson as soloist and conclude with everybody’s favourite 5th symphony!

Beethoven’s Symphony No.5 is probably the most popular and recognisable classical music compositions in the world.

Even those who might claim never to have experienced an orchestral work would have been exposed to “the Fifth” - especially the opening four-note motif - in contemporary popular music (Electric Light Orchestra’s adaptation of the Chuck Berry hit “Roll Over Beethoven”), film (Saturday Night Fever, Fantasia 2000), television (theme song for “Judge Judy”, opening sequence of Doctor Who “Before the Flood”) and even video games (Dragon’s Lair II: Time Warp).

But to experience the entire Symphony No.5 live from the stage in all its orchestral glory, as Beethoven intended, is something else again; and WASO is so excited to hit the road to make this possible in Geraldton and Kalgoorlie.
