The Advocates : Part 1

advocatespart1_humanitixbanner-07.jpg

We are thrilled to announce the return of Artistic Director Peter Clark in 2025, who will launch the West Phil Chamber Orchestra in our exciting new flagship series, “The Advocates.”

 

This year marks a bold new direction for us, setting us apart from any other ensemble in Australia. Our 2025 program includes a strong commitment to nurturing the musical leaders and thinkers of tomorrow, placing musical advocacy at the heart of everything we do at the West Phil Chamber Orchestra.

 

Prepare to be uplifted and challenged by an incredible team of professional musicians, carefully selected by Peter, as you work on a program designed to exhilarate from beginning to end. Experience the depth and beauty of works by Purcell, Handel, Kats-Chernin, Grebla, Sutherland, and more. Through West Phil’s energizing rehearsals, these composers' works will become an integral part of your artistic identity.

 

Join us in April as we launch WPCO’s new flagship series with “The Advocates: Part 1,” and become part of this exciting new chapter for West Phil.

 

Expect Excitement; Embrace the Highest Artistry; Be inspired to become a leading Musical Advocate.
