Renowned for inspired programming and the rapturous response of audiences and critics, the Australian Chamber Orchestra embodies the vibrant, adventurous, youthful, and inquiring spirit of Australia. Artistic director and lead violin Richard Tognetti has led the ACO as a flexible and versatile “ensemble of soloists,” on modern and period instruments, as a small chamber group, a small symphony orchestra, and as an electro-acoustic collective. Equally dynamic clarinetist Martin Fröst is a sought-after chamber musician, soloist, and conductor. Their program will include diverse repertoire from Mozart, Steven Reich, Haydn, and a new work commissioned by the ACO from Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood, a frequent ACO collaborator.
