“Perth Symphony are beyond excited to send this gift of love and support to Voyager from our beautiful home in the most isolated city in the world. Australia will be cheering you on and could not be prouder of you all, rocking it out on the world stage. GOOD LUCK VOYAGER!” - Creative Director – Perth Symphony Orchestra, Fiona Campbell
“We’re truly speechless after seeing this incredible show of support from the Perth Symphony Orchestra and our beautiful State.
