Perth festival is facing calls to drop the orchestral production Become Ocean from this year’s program over a sponsorship arrangement with fossil fuel company Woodside Energy.
The production, scheduled for Saturday 5 March, is a performance of John Luther Adams’ Pulitzer prize-winning work – originally written as a reflection about oceanic changes brought on by global heating – by the Western Australian Youth Orchestra (WAYO) and the West Australian Symphony Orchestra (WASO), in a partnership between the orchestras sponsored by Woodside.
