Summer is on the way, and so is Sydney Festival. And many events in the 2024 program are going to be taking place at ACO Pier 2/3.
Sydney Festival is a city-wide celebration of culture, creativity and the questioning mind. From the streets to the beach, in theatres, wharves and warehouses, it animates Sydney with a trailblazing program of theatre, music, dance, visual art and all the experimental in-between places of live performance. As a dedicated commissioner of new Australian works, Sydney Festival showcases our nation’s diverse storytellers to the world, whilst drawing the world’s finest artists to Sydney.
The 2024 program at ACO Pier 2/3 is packed with diverse events – from soulful singer-songwriters and jazz pioneers, to intimate concerts with ACO musicians and others celebrating the legacy of JS Bach in innovative ways.
