Releases

The Australian Art Orchestra has been commissioning, performing, and recording music for over 25 years, from notated works with master composers to free-wheeling visions of spontaneous energy that harness the power of collective improvisation. The AAO works with a wide range of musicians and our recordings are regularly released on both acclaimed international labels and on our distinguished imprint, AAO Recordings.
