It’s always extraordinary to witness the will of people to share the experience of live music resulting in a totally full room.
We were lucky enough to welcome sold-out crowds to our opening national tour of 2024, River, with audiences across the country – from Newcastle to Perth – collectively filling halls to take in the mesmeric visuals of Jennifer Peedom and her team’s film, interwoven with music performed live by Richard Tognetti and the Australian Chamber Orchestra.
As much as we were humbled by themes in the film, we have also been touched by your responses to it. Thank you for sharing the experience with us.

“I’ve never experienced anything like this before in my life. The combination of what was on the screen combined with the orchestra was nothing short of incredible. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house, and I shed so many tears myself. I wish everyone on this planet could watch it.”– ACO Audience Member
“The music is divine, the film expresses the message perfectly. A true experience.”– ACO Audience Member
