The WAWS Summer Wind Ensemble Academy is a fun and supportive school holiday program for primary and early secondary instrumental students.

Participants will spend the day learning from members of the West Australian Wind Symphony (WAWS) — rehearsing in full ensemble and sectionals, enjoying musical games, and connecting with other young musicians in an encouraging, creative environment.

The day concludes with a student performance at 2:30pm, followed by a short showcase by the award-winning West Australian Wind Symphony. Families are invited to stay and enjoy both performances.
