Performer: West Australian Symphony Orchestra

Guest conductor Riccardo Minasi leads the West Australian Symphony Orchestra with a program of old favourites, with outstanding contribution from trumpeter Jenna Smith

Philip Glass and Christopher Hampton's operatic version of Kafka’s The Trial captures the essence of the book and this production does justice to the opera and its origin

Cellist Li-Wei Qin plays Tchaikovsky with a fantastically in-form West Australian Symphony Orchestra, in a programme with other works by Mozart and Wagner. 

The West Australian Symphony Orchestra precedes Dvořák with equally well rendered works by Kodály and Bartók as the orchestra comes to grips with performing in a less than ideal venue.

An impressive new work by Paul Stanhope, Mahāsāgar (the Indian Ocean) is well sung and played by the WASO choir and orchestra with soloists Sara Macliver and Andrew Goodwin, alongside some oceanic favourites

WASO's concert of contemporary music, conducted by compatriot Otto Tausk, and featuring soprano Sara Macliver, proves riveting in its unfamiliarity.
