Under the graceful command of Asher Fisch, Australia's next generation of orchestral players showed their stuff

Cameron Lam returns to musical adventures from Western Australian composers, performers and improvisers in this month’s Australian Art Music playlist.

An expressive Australian voice well-served by vivid performances.

ANAM 'tunes in' to classical and modern gems in its 2025 season, featuring a string of acclaimed Australian and international guests.

Rusalka is a potent reminder that opera is a hybrid beast with real power to engage and sometimes overwhelm.

WASO serves up a Wagnerian quintuple espresso and a supremely well-crafted world premiere from WA composer Lachlan Skipworth.

Lachlan Skipworth has always enjoyed writing for the flute. His new concerto was written especially for WASO's Principal Flute, Andrew Nicholson.

This concert demonstrated the fantastic collaborative creation possible between a great conductor and orchestra – one wonderfully complemented and enlivened by the spotlighting of four fabulous soloists at the height of their artistic prowess.

This concert of well-loved classics spotlit WA talent, with clarinettist Ashley Smith receiving a rock-star reception from students in the audience, while the orchestra was in fine form.

A change of direction for Skipworth yields rich rewards.

In its latest concert, WASO delivered crowd-pleaser after crowd-pleaser, and gave each a masterful performance.

West Australian Symphony Orchestra and Guest Director Shaun Lee-Chen delivered an excellent mix of Baroque delights: crowd-pleasers, showstoppers and rarer gems.
