WA Charity Orchestra celebrates Country, it’s First Peoples and the diverse cultures who call it home.

A celebration of Western Australia’s rich cultural diversity, centred around a celebration of Country and its first peoples will take to the stage of Perth Concert Hall on 19 February 2022. The West Coast Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus will be joined by a slew of multilingual soloists singing in languages including Noongar, Te Reo Māori, Swahili, Japanese, Portuguese, Mandarin and more.

The concert, led by conductor Samuel Parry, will feature Noongar singer-songwriter Natasha Eldridge, performing two original songs Koort Boodja (Our Country), and the much-loved favourite I Am Australian – with verses performed in Noongar.
