50th Anniversary Season
In 1975, visionary Australian cellist, John Painter, gathered an ensemble of like-minded string players who shared his dream of creating a group where they could control their musical destinies. This ensemble, boldly named the Australian Chamber Orchestra, made its debut that November in Sydney Opera House, performing to a sold-out Concert Hall.
From this inaugural audience, our uniquely extraordinary supporters were born. In the years since, the ACO has gone on to perform over 5000 concerts for audiences around Australia and the world, from that first concert in Sydney Opera House to Western Australia’s Ningaloo Reef to London’s Barbican.
Next year the ACO will celebrate our 50th anniversary season, ACO 2025. It is an honour to be the Artistic Director of this extraordinary ensemble of musicians; some of the finest string players on the globe.
However, the greatest privilege in my nearly 35 years as Artistic Director has been performing concerts for you, our loyal audience, without whom there would be no ACO at all. I have always felt that the ACO has the most curious and engaged audiences in the world and as we approach our 50th anniversary year that is truer than ever.
So, on behalf of my colleagues in the ACO, thank you for taking the leap with us each year, and I invite you to join in the celebrations of ACO 2025.
