To celebrate 90 years of music-making the West Australian Symphony Orchestra will start their 2018 season with two special concerts, WASO’s Favourites, on Friday 9 and Saturday 10 February at Perth Concert Hall.
The concerts will feature the Orchestra’s favourite West Australian artists plus the WASO Chorus, performing a varied program of classical hits. Soloists will include soprano Sara Macliver, mezzo soprano Fiona Campbell, organist Joseph Nolan and WASO Concertmaster Laurence Jackson.
Led by former WASO Assistant Conductor Christopher Dragon, the Orchestra will perform crowd-pleasers by Handel, Bizet, Gershwin, Orff and more, culminating in Beethoven’s triumphant Fifth Symphony.
Here’s the full program.
Handel’s Zadok the Priest followed by Samson: Let the Bright Seraphim, Delibes’ Lakmé: Flower Duet, Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending, Bizet’s Habañera from Carmen, George Gershwin’s memorable Summertime from Porgy and Bess, Widor’s Organ Symphony No.6: Allegro, Orff’s O Fortuna and finally the wonder of Beethoven’s fifth.
