In the Shadow of Time was a new collaboration that saw ACO Collective, our dynamic ensemble comprised of ACO Emerging Artists and core ACO musicians, joined onstage by the extraordinary dancers of Co3. With the strings directed from the viola by ACO Principal Viola Stefanie Farrands, the performance delved into themes of ageing, resilience, and the invisible forces that shape our lives.
The production toured across Western Australia, with performances in Perth, Margaret River, Albany, and Bunbury.
We were honoured that both the musicians and dancers were dressed in costumes specially created by renowned designer Akira Isogawa, whom the ACO is proud to have worked with at key points in our 50-year history.
2025 marks milestone anniversaries for both organisations – 50 years of the Australian Chamber Orchestra and 10 years of Co3 – so this was a particularly special performance for both ensembles, and a joy to share with audiences across WA.
