am particularly looking forward
JAZZ to seeing some shows in this
wonderfully atmospheric setting.
I am also excited by the gift of the
Stewart Symonds Collection of 140
historically significant pianos which
includes the first piano to arrive
on Australian shores. A ravishing
series of concerts will celebrate
this fabulous acquisition.
There are so many tantalising
performances at WAAPA - I intend
to get to most of them and I hope
to see you there.
Come and see for yourself why
WAAPA is considered one of the
world’s leading performing arts
academies.
WAAPA attracts an exciting array
of guest artists to collaborate
with our students to produce an
amazing variety of concerts
and shows.
You will be inspired by the
exceptional talents and infectious
enthusiasm of the performers
and entranced by the imagination
and skills of the students working
behind the scenes.

the graduating students as they prepare to embark on
their professional careers. Alumnus Richard Cilli, whose
prodigious talent saw him accepted into the Sydney Dance

his performance in Rafael Bonachela’s We Unfold. After a
break of two years, during which he danced with Sweden’s
