Paul Daniel Previews WASO 2011

Paul Daniel is Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor of the West Australian Symphony Orchestra (WASO).

He was Music Director of English National Opera from 1997 until 2005. He has worked with London Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, New York Philharmonic and far too many others to mention around the world. He’s conducted the internationally televised Last Night of the Proms in London with the BBC Symphony Orchestra. In 1998 he received a Laurence Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Opera and was awarded the CBE in the 2000 Honours List.

He’s now preparing for the West Australian Symphony Orchestra’s 2011 season and he joined me in the studio this morning during my radio program on 98.5 Sonshine FM. We talked about the very wide range of performances planned for the new year. Audiences are set to be taken on an incredible musical voyage.

Some people may think of classical music as pieces that were written hundreds of years ago, but WASO continues to premiere new works and be extremely innovative in taking their extraordinary talents to a wider audience.

WASO’s vision is to touch souls and enrich lives through music. Throughout 2011 we’ll be turning that aspiration into reality, reaching out into the community and touching the lives of people across Western Australia.

Our 2011 season builds on the great successes of previous seasons, and also introduces some new ideas.
