Our ensembles give musicians unique opportunities to make a difference in the community and perform quality repertoire at a high standard. In the West Coast Phil, West Coast Phil Chorus and WA Wind Symphony, we strive to create the best music possible as we seek to fulfill our mission, changing lives through music. To ensure our ensembles are of a high standard and to give everyone a fair opportunity, all potential members are required to audition.

Our instrumental ensembles have screened auditions annually, allowing both ensembles to make community music at the highest standard possible while encouraging a respectful and supportive atmosphere.

As a member of our organisation you will have the opportunity to be a part of a friendly community of enthusiastic and talented musicians. The ensembles perform a wide variety of repertoire that is carefully selected to not only entertain audiences, but engage, challenge, reward and enrich the performer.

All of our ensembles are lead by our founder and music director, Samuel Parry. A multi-instrumentalist and experienced musician, Sam brings an encouraging and inspiring approach to conducting and motivates the ensembles to reach a high standard in every performance.

Sam Parry is not only an incredible musician and musical director, but also a joy to work with. His high expectations and goals for each rehearsal and performance are achieved in an encouraging, stress free environment. Sam’s vision offers players a once in a lifetime opportunity for many members and we love being a part of it.

"West Coast Phil is such a fabulous place to make music and make friends! We are constantly playing new and challenging repertoire that is not only enjoyable to play but pushes me to be a better musician. I love that there is a place in Perth's community music scene where such high level music making can be achieved!"

Melissa Mikucki, Bassoon
