A Performance For Our Planet (expired event)

Events Mar 27

Cnr Hay St & Barrack St, Perth, WA 6000

Description

Be immersed in nature with Perth Symphony's 'A Performance For Our Planet'. Along with beautiful songs inspired by nature, environmental experts will give special talks in this sensory experience!

Our Western Australian landscape is one to celebrate. As well as our achievements in helping the environment for the future! On this night we will come together in a musical journey through these accolades.

This concert will feature our Perth Chamber Orchestra musicians playing a range of pieces inspired by nature from Dvorak to Rutter. The program also includes stunning works from WA's own Iain Grandage and John Butler, and follows four themes:
THRIVING OCEANS
DROUGHT MITIGATION
RENEWABLES
PROTECTING BIODIVERSITY

But this isn't just your average listening experience; we dive head-first into nature with a collection of footage and soundscapes captured from all over Western Australia which will be played during the concert. The Town Hall itself will also be immersed in nature with native plants surrounding the stage, the evocative scent of eucalyptus gently wafting throughout and as you look up, a spectacular "starry sky".

In addition to this we welcome Gavin Buckley (TEDxPerth) to lead 5 minute conversations with leading experts from WA based organisations on the positive things they are doing to protect our fragile earth, along the four themes, right here from our very backyard.

Perth Symphony's Founder and CEO, Bourby Webster, expressed her enthusiasm by stating:
"These experts will share their ground-breaking work, give facts, figures and insights into how Western Australia is leading the way in these areas. Each conversation will be followed by inspiring pieces of music on the four themes performed by Perth Chamber Orchestra and soloists, conducted by Jessica Gethin - Conductor."

If you're in need of a tasty beverage before we sit down to take in the majesty of our planet why not enjoy a gin Supplied by Sin Gin, distilled using local WA botanicals.
