The AAO turns 30!

In this unmissable birthday celebration, the Australian Art Orchestra commemorates both the legacy and future of the AAO with a special performance bringing together our community of wonderful artists from the past 30 years of activity.

This concert features a program of works, both new and reimagined, that have been built over three decades including: Ringing The Bell Backwards (AAO’s first performance and major work from 1994, composed by Paul Grabowsky), The Plains (composed by Peter Knight) and premieres from both Artistic Director Aaron Choulai and Associate Artist Sofia Carbonara, demonstrating new directions for the AAO in a new era.

The program will be performed by an ensemble that brings together musicians across the many iterations of the Australian Art Orchestra, including Scott Tinkler, Aviva Endean and Adrian Sherriff, as well as featured artists including past AAO Artistic Directors Paul Grabowsky AO and Peter Knight, alongside recent collaborators Kutcha Edwards and Hikaru Tanaka.
