From timeless masterpieces to bold new sounds, this month’s lineup brings plenty of reasons to head out and hear live music at its best. Expect big emotions, unexpected discoveries, and performances that remind you why nothing quite replaces being in the room when it all happens.
Chamber Series: Resonance
Step inside our intimate chamber series as Resonance lands in Fremantle and Perth. From the raw, soul-baring intensity of Shostakovich to the glowing warmth of Mozart’s beloved Gran Partita, this is classical music stripped back, dialled in, and felt right down to your bones.
Composition Project
Be the first to hear what tomorrow sounds like. WASO’s Composition Project throws open the doors to fresh and fearless new music, as emerging Australian composers unveil brand-new works – performed live for the very first time by a 14-piece ensemble. It’s raw, unpredictable, and completely one-of-a-kind.
The Music of Joe Hisaishi
Float away on a wave of nostalgia as the Joe Hisaishi songbook comes to life on stage. No screens, just pure orchestral magic. From the wonder of Spirited Away to the charm of My Neighbour Totoro, this is your favourite film music reimagined live. Lush, cinematic, and guaranteed to hit you right in the feels.
Schumann’s Cello Concerto
Romance, drama, and a touch of pure musical poetry. From the haunting beauty of Sibelius to the soaring sweep of Brahms, with Schumann’s lyrical Cello Concerto at its heart, this is an evening made to stir something deep. Come for the big symphonic moments, stay for the goosebumps.
