The sky is darkening to shades of purple from orange and some of the earliest stars are just visible. A cool ocean breeze plays with your hair and a murmur of a crowd fills the air, how can it be any more perfect a background to enjoy different performance arts live in this atmosphere? Even in the sunny skies of Perth you can’t miss out on some world-class music, theatre, dance, visual arts and literature. The Perth International Arts Festival or PIAF for short has some of the most enthralling productions and it ends up attracting big names like violinist Nigel Kennedy, Jazz legend Pat Methany, Welsh opera singer Bryn Tertel, soprano Elizabeth Connell, actress Sandra Bernhard, Leonard Burnstein’s candidate and artists like Tracy Moffatt.
Past audiences have all been treated to vibrant and inventive music and cool jazz tunes during the balmy summer nights, all right here at the Perth Concert Hall verandah. The theatre is also known to offer simply sensational music and groundbreaking and revered performances from all over the world. The PIAF is also well known for its International writer’s festival; here you get the chance to feast your inner writer and read amazing pieces and share ideas and debate. A completely stellar line-up of authors descend right here at Perth and celebrate writing at this festival.
