Connect

Tailored musical experiences for the disability sector

Our Connect program provides accessible intimate chamber concerts and open rehearsals for adults registered with disability support organisations tailored to individuals who are unable to attend a full symphony orchestra concert due to accessibility requirements. With musicians joining guests for morning tea and a chat after the concert, the events are very popular, with some repeat attendees joining us for several years at every event.

"We’ve attended WASO Connect events before and they are the best events organised for people with disabilities that I know of. All the details are considered – parking, access,  communication. It’s wonderful and a fantastic example for other organisations." -Disability support worker 

To register your organisation's interest please contact Sofia Roberts or register for an event below.
