The Seasons is a musical journey through a year in Western Australia. From the blazing heat of summer to the dramatic transformation of our rivers when the rains arrive, from glorious Cottesloe sunsets to the footy at Subi, composer David Pye and poet Kevin Gillam have captured our climate and unique lifestyle in a work that will surprise and delight all Western Australians.

Perth’s own dazzling violinist, Jessica Ipkendanz and renowned actor, Julia Moody, will be joined by ten of the state’s best musicians for the world premiere season of this extraordinary new concerto for violin, narrator and chamber ensemble.

Preview performances at Fremantle, Bindoon and Dwellingup, culminate in the ultimate performance on stage at the stunning natural setting of The Quarry Amphitheatre, City Beach. Pack the picnic, chill the champagne for a superb evening's entertainment in our great outdoors - Western Australian style!
