ACO Collective – Ecstatic Dances

A frequent performer on the world’s most celebrated concert hall stages, British violinist, Matthew Truscott, leads ACO Collective in a thrilling program of dances from across the ages, showcasing the vitality and virtuosity of this incredible ensemble.
Energy permeates from every turn, from the Baroque elegance of Purcell’s England, to the rhythmic intensity of Stravinsky to the thrill-seeking dynamism of western Sydney composer, Holly Harrison’s Black Ice, commissioned especially for the ACO Collective.
