PLEASE NOTE:
There will be an event at Langley Park Saturday 4 November from 3pm until 9:30pm with a high attendance rate.
As a result, the area around Perth Concert Hall will be extremely busy and parking will be very limited so we suggest getting public transport to the venue.
If you are driving in, we recommend arriving early to allow for traffic delays and parking.
Bursting with joy
Following his outstanding debut in 2022, Umberto Clerici returns to WASO with a program of brilliant classics.
With his Second Symphony, Beethoven put aside his inner turmoil to write music brimming with optimism and joy. From its boldly dramatic opening, to its mischievous scherzo and boisterous conclusion, Beethoven’s breathtaking musical imagination is on full display. In between overtures from Schubert and Mozart, WASO’s Liz Chee is soloist in a new oboe concerto by Master of the King’s Music, Judith Weir.
