The transformative nature of music is yet to be matched. It can heal, it can unite, and it can inspire. It can do this and so much more all without a single word being uttered. It’s unsurprising then that it’s woven into the fabric of our celebrations and stories, providing the backdrop for countless moments in our lives.
That is why WASO is committed to empowering, enriching, and elevating the lives of all West Australians through the universal language of music. The donations we receive enable your Orchestra to continue to inspire and connect our community through its beauty.

He is an Associate Professor of Music and Chair of Vocal Studies at the University of Western Australia Conservatorium of Music, where he teaches voice, directs the Symphonic Chorus and chamber choirs, and passes on his experience to the next generation of musicians.
