The Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra owes its existence to the invaluable contributions of our exceptional patrons and musicians. Your time, treasure, and talent have been the lifeblood of our orchestra, breathing life into our performances and ensuring our continued success.

What began as an act of love and passion has quickly become one of Australia’s finest orchestras, devoted to playing the rich and varied music of the 18th and 19th centuries with historical integrity and educating future generations of musicians.

We hand-pick musicians for each concert depending on the repertoire and their particular expertise, bringing you world-class musicians based both locally and from Europe and the US. To do this, we highly appreciate the support of our donors who share our vision and passion.

The Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra Donor Circles are an eloquent and powerful way to celebrate our innovative approach to the performance of Classical and Romantic repertoire in Australia. This is a wonderful opportunity to be welcomed into the orchestra’s family, to connect with our top musicians, and to marvel with us as we continue to rediscover the sound worlds that surrounded our favourite and lesser-known composers. All donations to the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra are tax-deductible and help to enrich Australia’s cultural and musical education landscape.

“One of the best things about this orchestra is their willingness to programme big, bold and beautiful, willing an audience to step out of the comfort zone of the mainstream rep and try something intriguing and new.”

Clive Paget, Limelight Magazine (2015)
