INSTRUMENT FUND Peter Weiss AM, Patron

Become a Patron of the ACO Instrument Fund and participate in the ownership of a bank of historic stringed instruments for use by the world-class ACO musicians, by making a donation to the ACO. The ACO Instrument Fund’s first asset is Australia’s only Stradivarius violin, now on loan to Satu Vänskä, Assistant Leader of the Orchestra. 

‘A work of art, beautiful to behold on an aesthetic level, a valuable antique, a useful and practical tool supplying the most wonderful music in the hands of a dedicated professional. To purchase one and sponsor an artist, allowing the artist to ply his trade with the best available tool, is both an investment and an act of philanthropy, giving joy to innumerable concert-goers and CD buyers.’  Private Wealth Investor magazine
