Stay tuned over at West Coast Philharmonic Orchestra for more info in the leadup to our upcoming concert Scheherazade & Other Tales on 28 November!

16.01.2022 Our Wind Symphony members were thrilled to be back at rehearsals this week. Concert announcement coming soon!

16.01.2022 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT Since 2008, the WA Charity Orchestra has been constantly evolving and growing. WACO is not the same ensemble or organisation that it was all those years ago. We began as a summer-only event donating all raised funds to other charities. Today, we have a direct impact in the community changing lives through music by doing our own charity work, and have two full time ensembles performing throughout the year. While the organisation itself will keep the WA...CO name and continue to change lives through music in the community, we have decided after much discussion to rename the orchestra and choir. Moving forward, the orchestra will now be known as the WEST COAST PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA (which we are sure will be shortened to "West Coast Phil"), and the WACO Choir as the WEST COAST PHILHARMONIC CHORUS. Our new logo represents the stunning ocean sunsets we enjoy here on the west coast of Australia. The word philharmonic means music-loving which we feel suits us perfectly. We hope the new name will help us to reach a wider audience so that more people can appreciate the great performances we give. Thank you for your support of WACO. We look forward to seeing you at future concerts of the WA Wind Symphony and West Coast Phil! #WACOfamily #WACOmusic #WestCoastPhil #WAWindSymphony #changinglivesthroughmusic

16.01.2022 Is Ariel your favourite Disney princess? If she is then you cannot miss A Sea Symphony this Saturday, Feb 1st at Perth Concert Hall. Enjoy music from Disneys The Little Mermaid provided by the West Australian Charity Orchestra and Choir

16.01.2022 How do you feel about the sea? Our main man Vaughan Williams had a lot to say about it, and you can see the WA Charity Orchestra AND the WACO Choir perform his work on the subject. Havent got your tickets yet? Head to https://perthconcerthall.com.au/events/event/a-sea-symphony now! A Sea Symphony is a composition for orchestra and chorus by Ralph Vaughan Williams, and is his first symphony. First performed at the Leeds Festival in 1910, this symphony is one of the first symp...honies in which a choir is used throughout the work and is an integral part of the musical texture. A Sea Symphony helped set the stage for a new era of symphonic and choral music in Britain during the first half of the 20th century.
