Schools Events & Resources

We believe that all children should have access to quality music education, regardless of where they live or their socioeconomic circumstance. 
Our Schools Programs provide teachers with resources and professional development opportunities to integrate music into their school’s culture and vision, as well as live performance experiences by ACO and ACO Inspire musicians. Explore our schools programs below. 

Schools Events

We’re thrilled to offer the opportunity for school classes and groups to attend ACO Families shows at our ACO Pier 2/3 venue in Sydney on specially-designated days.
Perfect for K-2 students, these performances will feature an educational Q&A after the show and a teacher’s resource kit with activities for the classroom.

The benefits of the ACO schools programs are immense...It is such a joy to share your passion, enthusiasm and knowledge for music as you help us develop our understanding of the strong role it plays in child development.
