FRIDAY 11 APRIL PROGRAM FINALE: PERTH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA (QUARTET) - 'THE MUSIC OF BRIDGERTON'
6pm - 8:30pm | Revel in the romance and Regency-modern stylings of the music of Bridgerton with Perth Symphony Orchestra's luscious strings and a quartet dressed to impress!
Beloved and well-known contemporary pop songs are reinvented with a Regency make-over, as the quartet reveals the romantic heart of the garden with moments of musical majesty.
Perth Symphony was founded in 2011 by violist, Bourby Webster, who was encouraged by many of WA’s outstanding classical players to start an orchestra. The opportunity to create an infinite number of magical concerts – with WA as the backdrop – along with the need to showcase the incredible talent being nurtured in the state meant a new orchestra for WA was not just an opportunity, but an imperative.
Perth Symphony quickly became known as "the orchestra that breaks the rules”, redefining the orchestral music experience by playing in places and spaces you’d never expect, from sheds to warehouses and art deco cinemas to aeroplane hangars!
The other key difference was the music – works from Mozart to Metallica, Björk to Beethoven and everything in between. By taking the orchestra out of the concert hall and into communities across Western Australia, Perth Symphony has performed for more than 600,000 people.
Unique amongst orchestras, this group are powered by the belief that music has the ability to move and inspire people from all cultures and walks of life. They continue to challenge traditions and create powerful, compelling performances.
