Experience an evening of musical brilliance as the West Australian Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Concertmaster Laurence Jackson, presents a program of timeless masterworks.

Performing as both director and violin soloist, Jackson brings his exquisite musicianship  to one of the most beloved pieces in classical music, Ralph Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending. This enduring favourite conjures the beauty and flight of a lark soaring high above the  English countryside, and Jackson’s interpretation with WASO will mesmerise you in its tranquillity.

The concert opens with the Overture to Mozart’s Don Giovanni, a dramatic  prelude to one of the greatest operas ever composed. Its gripping themes and masterful orchestration set the tone for a night of extraordinary artistry.

Benjamin Britten’s Simple Symphony then brings a playful yet sophisticated charm. Composed using themes from Britten’s childhood, this work sparkles with youthful exuberance and inventive wit.

The evening concludes with an electrifying culmination of tension, drama and brilliance. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Symphony No.40, a masterpiece of elegance and intensity, widely regarded as the finest achievement of one of the most celebrated composers of all time.

This extraordinary event celebrates the universal language of music and the enduring legacy of three  of classical music’s most cherished composers.

This concert seamlessly blends soaring lyricism, classical elegance, and youthful energy, offering something for every music lover.
