Following its sell-out 2018 residency, the Australian Chamber Orchestra (ACO) returns to London for a second season in-residence at the Barbican Centre.<\/p>\n<p>The ACO is the only Australian orchestra to hold an international residency. This season marks the mid-point of the ACO\u2019s three-year partnership with the prestigious concert venue and follows the orchestra\u2019s sell-out inaugural season in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The ACO&#8217;s 2019 Barbican season is a characteristically bold and eclectic mix that epitomises the daring, the virtuosity, the energy and the sense of adventure for which it is renowned. Once again, the ACO will collaborate with an inspiring and diverse collection of artists, presenting concerts which shed new light on the great music of the past and present.<\/p>\n<p>To open its 2019 Barbican season, the ACO will perform Bernard Labadie\u2019s enlightening string orchestra arrangement of Bach\u2019s revered <em>Goldberg Variations<\/em>.

This residency follows on from the success of ACO Artistic Director Richard Tognetti\u2019s appointment as the Barbican\u2019s first ever Artist-in-Residence at Milton Court Concert Hall in the 2016\/17 season.<\/p>\n<p>Thursday 3 October: Goldberg Variations\/ Richard Tognetti Director &amp; Violin\/ Erin Helyard Keyboards\/ Australian Chamber Orchestra<\/p>\n<p>Friday 4 October: Luminous\/ Richard Tognetti Director &amp; Violin\/ Bill Henson Photography, Cinematography, Editing\/ Lior Vocals\/ Australian Chamber Orchestra<\/p>\n<p>Saturday 5 October: The Lark Ascending\/ Richard Tognetti Director &amp; Violin\/ Australian Chamber Orchestra\/ Students from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
