ACO US

The ACO has a long history of touring to the United States, playing at venues including Carnegie Hall, the Lincoln Center, the Walt Disney Concert Hall, Café Carlyle and Tanglewood.

In October 2024, the ACO toured seven cities across the United States, from California to New York. In parallel to the mainstage concerts, the orchestra presented education and outreach initiatives as well as opportunities for bespoke private performances. This was the ACO’s third tour to the US in the past two years.

In 2023 they performed a very special ANZAC Day commemoration concert at Trinity Church, Wall Street and the ACO’s debut at Café Carlyle. Following the success of this sold-out debut a string quartet featuring Artistic Director Richard Tognetti, Principal Violin Satu Vänskä, violist Elizabeth Woolnough and cellist Eliza Sdraulig returned to New York’s iconic Café Carlyle to perform a five-concert residency in April 2024 to captivated audiences.

“One of the most precise, cutting-edge virtuoso string ensembles to be found anywhere in the world”

The Ottoman Four Seasons

Review: Boston Globe

“Best twist on a classic”

“ACO Artistic Director Richard Tognetti is fully aware how overplayed Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons is, so he gave Boston audiences the gift of hearing it as if for the first time, with help from Joseph (oud) and James (riq) Tawadros.”

The ACO US, a separate legal entity based in New York, was founded in 2015 to encourage the appreciation and enjoyment of classical music and the arts, in a variety of ways, including by supporting the artistic, and charitable activities of the ACO and by providing opportunities for the American public to experience, and engage with, the ACO during its regular tours in the United States.
