The starsaligned in 2015 to produce two landmark anniversaries: the Australian ChamberOrchestra celebrated its 40th birthday, and Richard Tognetti marked 25 years asits Director. This tight-knit, wildly popular and often ground-breaking musicalensemble manages to satisfy the demands of the musically literate as well asconcert first-timers; the demands of a punishing national touring schedule; andthe demands of taking excellence in Australian music-making to the world. Recognisedinternationally as world-class, the ACO carries its burdens lightly with aterrific brand of camaraderie, discipline and fun. Tognetti has broughtcharisma and amazing energy to his leadership of the ACO: in this book, he andhis musicians are captured in photographs and in their own words, on stage, inrehearsal and in their private lives.
