The organisation was formed with the twin aims of raising money for deserving causes by providing musicians with opportunities to fundraise for charities, and bringing music and joy into the community.
In 2017 the organisation expanded into four full-time ensembles including an orchestra, wind symphony, chorale and youth concert band.
The orchestra performs a variety of traditional, much-loved symphonic repertoire alongside contemporary, film and Australian music.
[4] The West Coast Philharmonic Chorus program is held over the summer holidays, and is a wonderful opportunity to sing great choral music in a friendly and encouraging environment in spectacular venues, accompanied by the orchestra.
The ensemble provides musicians with the opportunity to challenge the boundaries of instrumental performance, focusing on music written specifically for the symphonic band by composers from all around the world.
