ACO Collective
Celebrating its 10 year anniversary this year, ACO Collective is the Australian Chamber Orchestra’s critically acclaimed 17-piece string orchestra led by Artistic Director Pekka Kuusisto and combining musicians of the ACO with Australia’s most talented young professional musicians at the outset of their careers.
These young musicians have embarked on a year-long journey with the Orchestra as part of the ACO’s Emerging Artists’ Program which includes tours across Australia, mentoring from ACO players and delivering ACO’s many education initiatives.
With their signature energetic style and dynamic sound, the ACO Collective embodies the very spirit of the ACO.
“If you’re looking for the finest young string players in this country and, most probably, well beyond, this is where you’ll find them.” Australian Stage Online, on ACO Collective
