West Australian Symphony Orchestra Paul Daniel Principal Conductor Partnered by Wesfarmers Arts. Giulio Plotino Concertmaster Vladimir Verbitsky Conductor Laureate Marilyn Phillips Chorus Director Meet the Musician Tim White Principal Percussion 10 When did you join WASO? My first concerts were the famous WASO Proms with David Measham in 1985. The audiences were huge; people waved banners and cheered, the music was spectacular, and the players felt like rock stars. It was fun! ‘Percussion’ encompasses so many different instruments – what are your favourites? The cymbals, bass drum and triangle. They seem so simple and innocent, but it’s possible to create a zillion different sound colours and effects with these instruments. Composers often use them at the emotional climax of a work – this makes them fun to play but also a little bit dangerous because if you make a mistake with a pair of cymbals, there’s nowhere to hide! Are you busy outside WASO? I love teaching and taking music out into the community. I’ve been lucky to work a lot with WAAPA’s ‘Defying Gravity’ percussion ensemble and the Australian Youth Orchestra. But in the end, the best thing in my life is spending time with my darling wife Rachael (violist in WASO) and our two lovely kids Sally and Luke. You have often been involved in WASO’s Education and Community programs – what do you enjoy the most about them? I love being part of WASO’s education chamber orchestra EChO which tours to every corner of WA. It’s so moving when you realise that some children are hearing classical music for the very first time. Seeing the kids’ faces light up with wonder and happiness – that’s what music is all about. What are your plans for the future? After 27 years as WASO’s Principal Bangerand-Crasher, I’m stepping down into a tutti role, to spend more time playing the instruments I love most and help take WASO’s music out into the community.
