ACO UK

HISTORY IN THE UK

The ACO has a strong affiliation with London, and we've given 64 concerts in the UK since our London debut in 1982. We have received five-star reviews from publications including The Times, The Guardian UK and The Telegraph and in 2017, the Orchestra was honoured to be invited to play a special private concert for HM King Charles III at Buckingham Palace. In 2018 we further strengthened our ties to London and the UK with a three-year residency at the legendary Barbican Centre.

ACO UK is a charity registered in England and Wales (no. 1126782) which supports the activities of the Australian Chamber Orchestra in the UK and provides opportunities for the British public to experience and engage with the ACO.

LOOKING FORWARD

The ACO is returning to the Barbican as part of our 50th Season celebration and our relationship with the Guildhall School of Music is also continuing to develop, with regular workshops planned and the ongoing inclusion of talented players from the school in our Barbican programs.
