You can hear really good music in so many places, in so many towns and cities, but when you get to hear really, really good music, and it is presented to you with a conductor such as Paul Daniels, whose face beams and who almost becomes airborn with joy at times, you know you are listening to something special.

Just back from attending 'Star Wars and beyond' - WASO is an excellent orchestra. Good lighting and tremendous atmosphere in the Perth Concert Hall add to a great experience. Guest conductor, Anthony Ingalls was brilliant and very funny. The seats in the Concert Hall are not very comfortable but that is only a minor complaint. Go and listen to WASO... More

With Tim being a musical comedian I was amazed how well the orchestra complimented Tim's humour. The conductor was brilliant, the orchestra fantastic & coped so well with comments from our West Australian-raised, world renowned comedian. A new experience for me, being a Rock Music fan, but was blown away by their performance. I've also seen the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra... More
