Sanctum Series A series of rare and radiant sounds.
Welcome
Sanctum is a new Perth Festival series that honours the enduring power of fine and traditional music. Music that has travelled with ease across centuries, carrying human experience from the past into the present. These works have accompanied lives for generations, marking grief and joy, ritual and reflection, belief and doubt. Presented in the unique and glorious space of St Mary’s Cathedral, Sanctum invites audiences to experience music as it was often first intended: resonant, immersive and inseparable from architecture and atmosphere. Sound lingers, time stretches and the distance between past and present gently collapses. I am thrilled that Sanctum begins with our own West Australian Symphony Orchestra. Their presence anchors the series in place and shared cultural memory, a reminder that world- class artistry already lives here. From that foundation, the program opens outward, welcoming extraordinary artists from around the world whose music moves fluidly between eras. Sanctum is tradition in motion, history still resonant and music that continues to stop us in our tracks. Anna Reece Artistic Director
