Weaving together story and live music, ACO Family shows offer an inspirational introduction to classical music. With newly commissioned music by some of Australia’s most acclaimed composers, performed by some of Australia’s finest musicians, these experiences will be sure to ignite a lifelong love of music and the performing arts.

ACO Relaxed Performances feature 50 minutes of music with a guest presenter who will make you feel right at home. Open to everyone, these performances will offer flexible seating arrangements, adjusted lighting and sound levels and quiet spaces to chill out. We welcome people on the autism spectrum, people with disability and additional access needs, parents and carers with babies, or anyone who would enjoy a more informal daytime performance experience. Come along, respond to the music, make noise, be yourself and have fun! This performance will take a 50min selection of music from our How to Catch a Star program.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Get the answer to frequently asked questions below, or email [email protected] if you still have queries.

Do I need to be vaccinated to attend live concerts?

As of September 2021, federal and state governments together with our industry body Live Performance Australia (of which we are a member) were in discussions about whether entry to performances would be conditional upon vaccination, whether this would be a transitional measure and how this might be enacted. Please visit aco.com.au/covid which will have up to date guidance on this evolving issue which may vary, depending on which state or territory you reside.

Do I have to wear a mask?

It is very likely that masks will remain mandatory for part or all of 2022 in some states. Each state regularly reviews their health orders so we will keep our website up to date with the latest advice along with links to government websites for further information.

What happens if borders to some states stay closed?

We are confident after our discussions with government and industry partners that the national and state vaccination targets will be met, and borders will reopen in time for our first interstate performances in February 2022. We have venues, flights and accommodation booked for our musicians. If some borders do remain closed refunds will be offered.

Will my credit expire?

Credit amounts generated from cancelled performances do not expire. We will continue to hold onto your credit until you decide what you would like to do.
