Perth Symphony was founded in 2011 and is known as the orchestra that breaks the rules. With over 220 musicians regularly emp ... loyed 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. We are unique amongst orchestras and believe that our music has the ability to move and inspire people from all cultures and walks of life. We challenge traditions and create powerful, compelling performances that are often unexpected and always truly memorable. Bringing orchestral music to people who wouldn’t ordinarily hear it, and in ways they couldn’t possibly imagine is our primary focus. We collaborate with other art forms and artists, such as painters, DJs, contemporary dancers and actors. PSO brings music to life in a way that you don't just hear it, you can see it and feel it too! Founded by CEO Bourby Webster, the orchestra has grown exponentially over the years. Our Chief Conductor Jessica Gethin was born in WA, but is in regular demand throughout Australia and Asia, and has performed on stages across Europe the UK and USA. read more
