Embers & Earth

Embers & Earth brings together the West Coast Philharmonic Orchestra and the WA Wind Symphony for a powerful evening of elemental music in the grandeur of Winthrop Hall.

Fire, water, and earth collide in a program that reshaped the sound of the modern orchestra. Stravinsky’s The Firebird blazes with colour and mythic energy, while Debussy’s La Mer shimmers and surges, capturing the ever-changing moods of the sea. The concert culminates in Stravinsky’s revolutionary The Rite of Spring, a raw and electrifying exploration of rhythm, ritual, and the primal forces of nature.

Visceral, immersive, and monumental, Embers & Earth is an unforgettable journey through sound, where elemental power and symphonic brilliance meet.
