The Art House and the
Australian Chamber Orchestra Presents 
An Evening with the ACO Collective Quartet 

Treat yourself to an evening of classical music with the ACO Collective Quartet. 

Set in our smaller black box studio space, patrons will be enveloped in the wonderful soundscape that this engaging and intimate performance will deliver. 

Featuring classical masterworks by Bach, Beethoven and Dvořák, alongside contemporary works by Philip Glass and Caroline Shaw, interspersed with delightfully informative introductions to the music.

Acclaimed for the energy and dynamism of their performances, the ACO Collective Quartet is made up of graduates from the Australian Chamber Orchestra’s renowned Emerging Artist Program.

“The Australian Chamber Orchestra’s emerging talent arm, ACO Collective, is blazing a promising trail into the artform’s next era.”– THE AGE

“The collective sound of ACO Collective is exquisite and homogenous, a tribute to the musicians of the Australian Chamber Orchestra, who have sought these rare talents.” – THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD
