FEATURING

WA Youth Orchestra
Jen Winley, conductor

PROGRAM

Gladiator Suite, Hans Zimmer
Spartacus Adagio, Aram Khatchaturian
Symphonic Dances, Op.45, Sergei Rachmaninov
D’un matin de printemps, Lili Boulanger

Prepare for a night of explosive rhythms, unforgettable melodies and glorious harmonies.

Following on from their sold-out 50th celebration performances, the WA Youth Orchestra returns to the spotlight under the baton of conductor Jen Winley.

Immerse yourself in Hans Zimmer’s entrancing classic from Gladiator, including the ethereal ‘Now We Are Free’, before ascending with the swooning melodies of Spartacus.

The second half presents Rachmaninov’s Symphonic Dances — a masterwork steeped in sentimentality and nostalgia and one of his most-performed pieces.

It’s a concert that would be at home in any grand arena, as WAYO makes its debut at the spectacular 900-seat Joy Shepherd Performing Arts Centre at St Hilda’s Anglican School for Girls.
