“After 26 years with the ACO, moving to Pier 2/3 will be an absolutely incredible moment for me, and of course for the Orchestra. As a major arts organisation the ACO strives to reflect its own energy and that of our beautiful country. It’s very exciting!”

“Moving to our new home at Pier 2/3 will be a dream come true in many ways: to be somewhere right on Sydney Harbour, in a stunning building steeped in history, in amongst a thriving arts precinct, working next door to likeminded people.”
Ike See, ACO Violin
“Pier 2/3 will mark a new beginning, a fresh start, for the entire company. It will take the Orchestra to a new level, immensely expanding our creative possibilities. It’s exciting to be part of this moment in ACO’s history.”

“To have a purpose-built space designed for our current and future needs is something of a dream come true for many of us who joined the Orchestra in the dingy upstairs room on the main strip of Kings Cross.”
Stefanie Farrands, ACO Principal Viola
“Pier 2/3 will grant a whole new power to the ACO. All limitations and artistic restrictions will suddenly disappear, allowing us to create, discover and perform in a whole new way.”
