Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony

Music to sweep you away. Arvo Pärt is one of the worlds most performed living composers. Fratres, his haunting soundscape for strings and percussion, sets the scene for a very special world premiere - The Tides of Longing by Lachlan Skipworth and Jay Emmanuel, the story of a young refugees voyage and memories of home. Fate lies at the heart of Tchaikovskys Fifth, a thrilling journey from anguish to elation. Following his West Australian Symphony Orchestra debut in 2022, Eduardo Strausser returns to conduct this enthralling concert. Lachlan Skipworths The Tides of Longing commissioned for West Australian Symphony Orchestra by Geoff Stearn and private Song Book supporter. Libretto adapted from Jay Emmanuels play Children of the Sea, originally presented by Encounter Theatre.
