THE Perth Symphony Orchestra will be busting out Australian rock favourites at its second concert in Morley.

From AC/DC, to Crowded House and Gotye, the orchestra will be covering smash hits at the City of Bayswater-run concert at Pat O’Hara Reserve on February 1.

Soloists Rose Parker, Amy Pania Reeves and Steve Hensby are also delivering performances.

Families can bring along picnic rugs and chairs to sit back and enjoy the concert.

Orchestra chief executive and founder Bourby Webster said it was exciting to perform in front of thousands of people last year.

“Seeing three generations of a family up on their feet dancing to an orchestra is honestly the most rewarding thing to see at a concert,” she said.

Bayswater Deputy Mayor Filomena Piffaretti encouraged people attend the rock concert and dine at Morley restaurants beforehand.

“This will not be your average symphony,” she said.

“Expect high-energy tunes from artists you know and love performed by the talented Perth Symphony Orchestra.

“We are proud to bring an event of this calibre to our community free of charge.

“Aussie Rock with Perth Symphony Orchestra will attract thousands of people to experience what the Morley town centre has to offer, which can only be a good thing for surrounding businesses.”

The City urges people to walk, ride or catch public transport as there is limited parking at the reserve.
