2021 Season

ACO 2021

Join the ACO in Melbourne for a radiant hybrid season of live and digital performances. 

To our dear ACO family in Melbourne, we have missed you! We have admired your strength and commitment to the cause. We know it has not been easy and we cannot think of a better way to say thank you, than by extending our time in one of the great cities of the world. We are proud to say that from 2021 onwards, the ACO will be presenting more Melbourne performances than ever before, including a new series of Saturday night concerts at the Melbourne Recital Centre. It will be a Melbourne ACO Season to remember, and we hope you will join us back in the concert hall this May.

Live and Digital in 2021

In 2021 we’re presenting an ambitious season with more music than ever before: a radiant series of live performances alongside a digital subscription of cinematic and immersive concert films – ACO StudioCasts.

You may notice a reduction in the number of Melbourne tours as we recover from the past year and brace ourselves for the future. Despite these necessary reductions in 2021, we're delighted to present five programs of live music in Melbourne, with additional Saturday evening performances at Melbourne Recital Centre, from May to November 2021.

We invite you to explore the season below and encourage you to complement your live subscription with a digital subscription to ACO StudioCasts. You’ll see the Orchestra and experience the music in a completely new and immersive way. 

Season subscriptions, Flexi-subscriptions, single tickets and ACO StudioCasts subscriptions are now on sale. We hope you’ll join us for this new and exhilarating musical adventure.
