Excellence
The ACO are uniformly high-octane, arresting, never ordinary.- The Australian
Each time the ACO walks onstage, you know you are about to experience something special.
From the mastery of the musicians to the transformation of well-known works into performances that feel new to even our most dedicated subscribers, the ACO has created a reputation for excellence - both locally and overseas. Each year we strive to reach new heights through ambitious projects that set us apart on the national and international stage. From pursuing collaborations with new and returning artists to attracting exceptional musicians and growing audiences for the future, maintaining this excellence is vital in all we do. Your support of Excellence helps us to keep pushing boundaries, upholding the highest quality and explore new artistic endeavours that fit Richard Tognetti’s artistic vision for the Orchestra.
