Critics called the ACO's recent Beethoven concert in London “the finest concert of the summer” and spoke of “thrilling playing”, “vibrant drive” and “total involvement”, concluding, “this compact chamber orchestra matches anything Europe can offer in energy, precision and interpretative rigour.”

Building to the symphony, a trio of serene yet intense works, swelling to Beethoven's depiction of a sea voyage.

An expanded Australian Chamber Orchestra teams up with one of the finest British choirs and an exceptional line-up of soloists in Beethoven’s epic Symphony No.9, Ode to Joy.

“Tognetti has given us Beethoven that is alive and hot, fresh and memorable.” The Australian

“The vibrant drive of the Australian Chamber Orchestra's Beethoven programme made this a memorable affair. The ACO is a crack ensemble… “ The Guardian

“Like all the ACO’s Beethoven, the performance impact was exhilarating.” The Sydney Morning Herald
