Free ticketed event: Benjamin Britten’s evocative Four Sea Interludes from his opera Peter Grimes and Tchaikovsky’s spectacular Symphony No.4 form the core of this orchestral program, which also features works by Australian women composers. Maria Grenfell’s Roar! will be performed alongside the premiere of a new work by one of Australia’s most sought after composers, Jessica Wells.

We are thrilled to welcome Jen Winley, Associate Conductor of the West Australian Symphony Orchestra, to lead the orchestra in a program filled with raw emotion and heart.
