The Whitlams joins the West Australian Symphony Orchestra in a performance of their renowned symphonic collaboration on Saturday 13 June. The show debuted in 2004 at Kings Park, and has developed in style and complexity as new albums have been released.

This retrospective will see WASO share centre stage, playing a wide palate of styles written by many of Australia's finest composers. Notably, Tim Freedman's friendship with the late Peter Sculthorpe is marked by two gorgeous arrangements.
Classic compositions including "No Aphrodisiac" and "Blow Up the Pokies" will be joined by highlights of The Whitlams' 2020s resurgence with songs from the two recent albums, "Sancho" (2022), and Americana influenced, "Kookaburra" (2024).
"...the kind of arrangements which assume intelligence not just on stage but in the audience. It's wit and risk and flair." Sydney Morning Herald
"...superbly orchestrated with a sophistication of sound rare in a pop gig." The Age
