This will be the ACO’s fourth tour to the United States in four years. In October 2024 we performed in seven cities from California to New York to captivated audiences. Earlier that year an ACO quartet had a five-concert residency New York’s iconic Café Carlyle. In 2023 the ACO performed a very special ANZAC Day commemoration concert at Trinity Church, Wall Street and in intimate mode at Café Carlyle.

As well as mainstage concerts, the Orchestra delivered education and outreach initiatives as well as bespoke private performances. 

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

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.”
