International Tour: USA 2026

As Australia's most-travelled Orchestra, we're pleased to be returning to the US and Canada in 2026 for a two-week, multi-city tour including New York's Carnegie Hall. On tour, we bring Horizon by renowned American composer John Luther Adams, home to the US for its world premiere, alongside other renowned classic and contemporary works, including Richard Tognetti's arrangement of Schubert's Death and the Maiden, and Vaughan Williams' The Lark Ascending.

This will be the ACO’s fourth tour to the United States in four years.

“One of the most precise, cutting-edge virtuoso string ensembles to be found anywhere in the world”
