COVID-19 poses a great threat to the entire arts industry, including the ACO. We need your help to survive. Donate to the Excellence program to ensure the future of your Orchestra and ensure that we return to the stage as soon as we safely can.
Never has the ACO been in more jeopardy than right now. With ticket sales accounting for the lion's share of our revenue, and only 11% of our funding coming from government sources, our income has all but evaporated. We need your help to survive.
A message from our Artistic Director
It is in times of crisis that we all need music the most, and we want to bring it to you in your homes and be back on stage to share it when we finally come out the other side, rebuilding and bringing the community together again. We live for those special moments we experience together with our audiences. In the meantime, we are reacting as nimbly and resourcefully as we can to stay connected to you in whatever way these strange times will allow.
Every aspect of our collective lives is affected by the consequences of COVID-19, including the potentially devastating threat it poses to the entire arts industry. We fear for what it means for our future.
We need the support of our patrons now more than ever to make it through to the other side of this crisis and continue to perform at the world class standard that you have come to expect from the ACO.
Donate to our Learning and Engagement programs to ensure that we can continue to provide access to quality music engagement programs to diverse communities across Australia.
Please consider leaving a gift to the ACO in your will. Your gift will help us ensure that the Orchestra will continue and thrive for future generations.
