Tragedy and triumph.

Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony is one of his most powerful works, charting an emotional journey from brooding darkness to triumphant brilliance. Infused with fate and struggle, its soaring melodies and sweeping climaxes embrace the breadth of human emotion and resilience. Puccini’s Manon Lescaut offers a poignant contrast that’s lyrical and tender and Lachlan Skipworth’s Flute Concerto is a colourful and virtuosic showcase that was written especially for WASO’s Principal Flute, Andrew Nicholson.
