Free CD with ACO tickets

The Washington Post nailed it in a review of the Australian Chamber Orchestra in October: "The energy and vibe of a rock band with the ability of a crack classical chamber group."

But we want more Australians to discover for themselves the pizzazz of our vibrant national chamber orchestra so Herald Benefits and the ACO have teamed up to present, exclusively to Herald subscribers, the perfect excuse to attend an ACO concert. And there’s plenty to choose from.

In March, the ACO’s principals perform five favourite concertos for violin, viola, cello, double bass and oboe by Bach, Vaughan Williams and more. In April, leading singers join the ACO, directed by Richard Tognetti, to perform Bach’s inspiring choral music for Easter. In May and June, the ACO performs romantic symphonies: Brahms’s Symphony No.1 and Schubert’s Unfinished, plus an Australian premiere by Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood.

The first 200 Herald subscribers to enter the promotion code “HERALD” when booking at the ACO website for any concert in Sydney or Newcastle between March and June will receive an exclusive Australian Chamber Orchestra CD, free.
