Pictured: In February, the City of Bayswater partnered with Perth Festival to bring two unmissable free experiences, Orchestra-oke and Karla Bidi, to the local community.

On Saturday 22 February, pop songs and orchestral music came together for Orchestra-oke at Pat O’Hara Reserve in Morley. Aspiring singers from across Perth took to the stage to perform beloved pop hits accompanied by Perth Symphony Orchestra.

Riverside Gardens in Bayswater shone after dark throughout the festival with Karla Bidi, an art installation blending light, sculpture and soundscape drawing upon the Noongar tradition of lighting a guiding trail of fire to welcome visitors.
