An Evening with the ACO Collective Quartet

Treat yourself to an evening of classical music with the ACO Collective Quartet. This engaging and intimate performance will feature classical masterworks by Bach, Beethoven and Dvořák, alongside contemporary works by Philip Glass and Caroline Shaw, interspersed with delightfully informative introductions to the music. Acclaimed for the energy and dynamism of their performances, the ACO Collective Quartet is made up of graduates from the Australian Chamber Orchestra's renowned Emerging Artist Program. ACO Collective is the ACO's critically acclaimed string ensemble that brings together musicians of the ACO with Australia's most talented emerging professional string players. ACO Collective was formed under the direction of ACO Principal Violin Helena Rathbone in 2007 and has since performed in more than 85 regional centres in every state and territory.
