WA Symphony Orchestra Excursion – Years 9-11

Our Year 9–11 Music students attended the West Australian Symphony Orchestra’s education performance of ‘A Guide to Film Music’ at the Riverside Theatre.

The interactive performance featured the works of renowned Japanese film composer Joe Hisaishi, giving students the opportunity to explore how his distinctive musical style builds emotion, atmosphere and storytelling on screen.

As composition is a key component in Year 9–11 Music, the outing gave students distinct skills that they can use in their own original film music compositions.
