What is Green Shoots Moora?
Green Shoots is an initiative run by Perth Symphony Orchestra in conjunction with the Shire of Moora. It aims to unite local individuals to form community groups and choirs who will come together on a weekly basis to rehearse (weekly/fortnightly online and once a month in person Residencies at the Moora Performing Arts Centre). You can be a newly formed rock group, jazz group, trio of guitars…you name it! Professional musicians from Perth Symphony Orchestra will lead monthly workshops with the groups to impart musical knowledge and training to ensure the groups are performance ready for a community concert in March 2025 where these groups will be backed by the mighty power of the Perth Symphony Orchestra.
