Concert Angels helps young musicians experience the magic and inspiration of live professional music.
For developing musicians, seeing outstanding performers live is an essential part of their musical education. It gives young people the opportunity to hear great music performed at the highest level, experience the excitement of a live concert, broaden their musical horizons and find inspiration for their own musical journeys.
Since launching in 2024, Concert Angels has enabled 63 young musicians to attend professional concerts including The Planets, Shostakovich, Angels Ascend, La Traviata, Mahler’s Sixth, Romeo & Juliet, Resonance and Myths and Legends.
Thanks to the generosity of our private donors, West City Music is able to heavily subsidise the cost of these experiences, with students contributing an average of just $5 each. We also provide transportation when needed, helping ensure that financial or practical barriers do not prevent young people from accessing these valuable musical experiences.
Concert Angels is about much more than a night at the concert. It is about inspiring the next generation of musicians, fostering a lifelong love of music, and giving young people opportunities to experience the extraordinary power of live performance.

2026 Offerings
Enigma
14 Nov 7.30pm Town Hall
- Ross Harris Concerto for Orchestra (World Premiere)
- Saint-Saëns Piano Concerto No. 5 Egyptian
- Elgar Enigma Variations
Edward Elgar’s greatest masterpiece remains swathed in mystery.
His Enigma Variations, a set of 14 variations on a theme you never actually hear, has been the subject of both intense scrutiny and great love, thanks to the compositional genius and throbbing heart pulsing in these compelling variations.
Similarly, Saint-Saëns’ Fifth Piano Concerto has beguiled audiences with its Eastern-inspired sounds — hence its Egyptian nickname. To weave his own spell on us, legendary pianist Sir Stephen Hough returns to our shores. Praised by Limelight for possessing “an other-worldly stillness and strength [and] the perfect technique combined with the utmost poetic fluency”, Hough promises to transport us to another world.
We proudly premiere Ross Harris’ Concerto for Orchestra. A four-time winner of the SOUNZ Contemporary Award, Harris’ artistry and bold vision electrifies this newly commissioned work, driving the orchestra to new heights.
Closing Date: 20th October
