Did you know?

Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture was written in 1807 for Heinrich Joseph von Collin’s tragedy Coriolan; a play based on Shakespeare’s text Coriolanus.

Eroica was Beethoven’s largest solely instrumental work.

Eroica changed how composers viewed symphonies by breaking the boundaries of symphonic form, length and harmony, ushering in the Romantic period.

The Forgotten Symphony

Embark on a thrilling musical odyssey with César Franck’s rarely performed symphonic masterpiece. From a thunderous opening to a triumphant finale, each movement unfolds like a captivating chapter in an epic saga. Surrender to its charms, and you’re drawn into the magic of this seldom performed gem.

Debussy’s symphonic poem, Prélude à 'L’après-midi d’un faune' evokes the languorous heat of a summer afternoon with its dreamy flutes and luscious orchestral colours.

Japanese-born Canadian violinist Karen Gomyo returns to WASO, bringing her musical vitality and radiant sound to Barber’s expressive concerto.
