ACO Emerging Artist Showcase

We celebrate our new chapter with a dynamic orchestra made up entirely of former Emerging Artists.

Saturday 30 April, 1pm | The Neilson

From the New York Philharmonic to the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, the brilliant alumni of the ACO’s Emerging Artist program can be found in orchestras the world over. With over 102 musicians participating in the program since its beginnings in 2007, we celebrate this new chapter with a dynamic orchestra made up entirely of former Emerging Artists, led by ACO musician and 2015 Emerging Artist Liisa Pallandi.

Music by Janáček, Biber and Andrea Tarrodi will showcase the dynamism of this electrifying ensemble before this one-hour performance comes to a thrilling climax with one of Hungarian composer Sandor Veress’ Four Transylvanian Dances, a work that was featured in the very first ACO Collective tour 15 years ago.
