ACO Collective is our acclaimed ensemble comprised of Emerging Artists and their ACO mentors.
We are thrilled to be collaborating with Perth’s Co3 contemporary dance company for a new production created by Co3 Artistic Director Raewyn Hill.
The newest work from Raewyn Hill, in collaboration with ACO Collective, is a poignant exploration of aging, resilience, and the unseen forces that shape our lives. In the Shadow of Time features live music performed by the acclaimed ACO Collective, and costumes by Australian fashion designer, Akira Isogawa
Five dancers move on a rotating stage that never stops, echoing the relentless passage of time. Beneath them, a single figure pushes the stage symbolising the quiet support that carries us through life’s challenges. The sublime music from Arvo Pärt, Philip Glass and Pēteris Vasks, captures the ebb and flow of time, providing ever-needed moments of reflection.
Drawing inspiration from the precision of a Japanese tea ceremony, the work captures the exchange of energy and fleeting truths between people, offering a powerful meditation on human connection and endurance.
In 2025 we celebrate 20 years of our flagship talent development program.
The ACO Emerging Artist Program was founded in 2005 to support young musicians in building their professional music careers. In the program, Emerging Artists are partnered with musicians from the ACO for intensive learning, one-to-one mentorship and professional performance opportunities. We are incredibly proud of the program and its participants, many of whom now play in orchestras around the world, including the ACO.
You can see our 2025 Emerging Artists perform with ACO Collective throughout the year.
