Chairman's Council

The Chairman’s Council is a rewarding and engaging way to support the ACO while developing our reputation as one of the world’s most exciting and innovative orchestras.
Led by Martyn Myer AO, Chairman of the ACO, the Chairman’s Council is a by-invitation association of leaders in the business and philanthropic community who enjoy exclusive entertainment, hospitality and networking opportunities while supporting and inspiring the continued excellence of the ACO.
Members have the opportunity to entertain guests and to connect with Richard Tognetti and the musicians on a personal level at exclusive behind-the-scenes rehearsals, post-performance drinks, annual cocktail parties and dinners held at unique venues.
