Perth Symphony Orchestra's Karratha Voices Project:
A Song Written by Karratha's Youth, 6.05pm to 6.25pm
The Perth Symphony Orchestra (PSO) is proud to present the Karratha Voices project, a collaborative musical composition that brings together the voices of Karratha's next generation. Students from Baynton West Primary School, Karratha Senior High School, Peg's Creek Primary and the Clontarf Academy have joined forces to create a unique song about their beloved Karratha.
This project goes beyond music lessons. It's about empowering young people to express themselves creatively, celebrating the diversity of their community, and capturing the essence of what makes Karratha special in their eyes. From contributing to the melody to writing lyrics and even crafting a rap section, the students have been active participants in the entire song writing process.
The Karratha Voices project is a powerful testament to the importance of youth engagement in the arts. It fosters collaboration, self-expression, and a sense of ownership over their cultural identity. The resulting song is not just a musical piece; it's a story about Karratha, told by the voices that will shape its future.
