BACH & SCHUBERT performed by AcO2, the Australian Chamber Orchestra's precocious little sister.
AcO2 connects the next generation of talented young Australian musicians with the stars of the AcO, creating a combined ensemble with a fresh, energetic performance style. The young musicians have all participated in the ACO's Emerging Artist program and many already play in the state symphony orchestras but choose to spend time experiencing the AcO's high-octane performance style. The best go on to tour nationally and internationally with the AcO and it is testament to the program's success that former AcO2 violinists Madeleine Boud and Rebecca Chan have been appointed core members of the AcO.

During ground-breaking achievements in 2010, not only were The TEN gaining new audiences all over the world but also some famous new friends, leading to an appearance on Oprah’s Ultimate Australian Adventure and through the roaring success of the show The Power of Ten, they fused rock and classical music together, kicking and screaming; creating a sound that is uniquely theirs.
The DOUBLE PLATINUM world tour and anniversary album is set to kick things up yet another gear; showcasing the talent of the group in a way no other artist can match. Musical Director Graham Foote enthused; We’re throwing down the gauntlet with this show. It’ll be bolder, bigger and better than ever before!

Audiences can expect some surprises and added treats to enhance their live show experience.
The Australian leg of the WORLD PREMIER of DOUBLE PLATINUM will commence in Hobart in August 2011, travelling up the East Coast (with some forays inland) all the way to Cairns, stopping in at Caloundra along the way on Fri 19 Aug.

Under the baton of Music Director Ken Chadwick OAM, this band of approximately 40 professional and amateur players will excel playing tunes by Rimsky Korsakov, Mascagni, Tchaikovsky, Wagner, Grainger, Rossini, and Offenbach.

Of special appeal will be Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto, featuring the superb playing of maestro Charlie Simm. Also, the Leroy Anderson "Bugler's Holiday", will be played at an incredibly fast pace by the Wynyard family of Todd, Angelique and their 14 year old son Josh.

Singers Bev Gourlay and Aart Schouten will add to the classical themes with songs such as “Bless this house” and “The Holy City”, as well as “My heart will go on” (Titanic theme) , “Stranger in Paradise” (from Kismet) and John Denver’s “Perhaps Love”.
This is an exciting programme, and should not be missed!
