2026 ACO USA Tour

In April 2026, the ACO returned to Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall - the Orchestra's fourth US visit in four years - as part of a tour spanning six American cities and Banff, Canada.

 

In October 2024, the Orchestra performed to audiences across seven cities from California to New York. Earlier that year, an ACO Quartet took up a five-concert residency at New York’s iconic Café Carlyle. In 2023, the ACO marked ANZAC Day with a special commemoration concert at Trinity Church on Wall Street, and returned to Café Carlyle for an intimate run of performances.

 

Alongside mainstage concerts, our tours have included education and outreach initiatives and bespoke private performances.

 

The ACO will return to the United States in October 2027, with concerts and education programs planned for Los Angeles, New York, and Boston.

“One of the most precise, cutting-edge virtuoso string ensembles to be found anywhere in the world.”

The Chicago Tribune

 

“The ACO’s razor-sharp precision across the ensemble was electrifying in the outer movements, their unanimity and attack enhancing the impact of Schubert’s score. Tognetti embedded the original quartet textures at the beginning and end of the variations movement, but even at full force the music conveyed a striking sense of intimacy and pathos.”

The Ottoman Four Seasons

Review: Boston Globe

“Best twist on a classic”

“ACO Artistic Director Richard Tognetti is fully aware how overplayed Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons is, so he gave Boston audiences the gift of hearing it as if for the first time, with help from Joseph (oud) and James (riq) Tawadros.”
