Enter the iconic St George’s Cathedra, flooded in candlelight.

Perth Symphony Orchestra welcomes you to our ever popular Candlelight series, returning after a year’s hiatus to celebrate and reimagine the music of none other than Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

We were delighted to commission our first ever classical piece, a reimagining of Mozart’s famous Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, by Melbourne’s Joe Chindamo. We cannot wait to perform this as a world premiere for you tonight.

Perth Symphony was founded in 2011 and is known as the orchestra that breaks the rules. With over 220 musicians regularly employed by us, we are creating a home for WA talent.

We play in places and spaces you’d never expect to find an orchestra, from sheds to warehouses, foyers to art deco cinemas and aeroplane hangers! We perform music from Mozart to Metallica, Björk to Beethoven and everything in between. Our mission is ‘Music for Everyone’ and by taking the orchestra out of the concert hall and into communities across WA, we are proud to have performed to over 250,000 people so far. Stay tuned, as this is just the beginning!
