The Arensky Chamber Orchestra is a bold and vibrant new chamber orchestra featuring the best emerging professionals, and directed by some of the world's most renowned leaders and concert soloists.
The ACO's 2011 debut season at London's Cadogan Hall features Andrew Haveron, Clio Gould, Stephanie Gonley and Melvyn Tan.
We are delighted to announce that on June 10th the ACO soloists will be appearing at the St Stephen's Festival. The programme previews the full chamber orchestra's performance of Schoenberg's Verklarte Nacht in July along side other classic works for string quartet.
The concert begins at 7.30pm in St Steven's Church, Gloucester Road, London. Tickets are £10.
See you there!
Recently the ACO were the subject of an article entitled 'New Kids on the Block' in online magazine 'The Arbuturian'. The magazine is dedicated to featuring highlights from the worlds of food, fashion, culture and travel, and described the ACO in glowing terms:
" Enthralled, enchanted and enraptured from the very first note, the audience sat in deep but mesmerised thought throughout each of the beautifully played seasons."
"Piazzolla’s four seasons and charismatic red lights took me back to long, languid days and sultry nights spent in the darkened Milongas of Buenos Aires."
As you can imagine, we're very proud of it, but rather than continuing to boast, we'' just let you read the full article here. Enjoy.
The ACO and Clio Gould recieved glowing praise for their recent performance at Cadogan Hall.
Peter Woolf writing in Musical Pointers summed up : "A delightful evening from an eager, young orchestra, with a well conceived thematic programme sequence that worked well and was intelligently prefaced in the programme."
Whilst in the Boulezian Mark Berry noted the "string tone itself was expressively rich, though never overwhelmingly so. The Air (‘Andante religioso’) was sung especially beautifully, never descending into the realms of the maudlin. Gould’s solos proved beguiling, but so did those from other section principals, amongst whom Steffan Rees’s finely shaded cello line deserves especial mention."
Hurrah!

Yes indeed! We're all immensly pleased and proud to report that the ACO's Ben Norris has married fellow violinist (and ACO player) Gail Hernandez Rosa! We'd like to take the credit, but as they started going out before Gail joined the ACO we won't on this occassion. Instead we'll just congratulate them, wish them a wonderful honeymoon, and look forward to seeing them on their return!
Thanks to everyone at the Arensky Chamber Orchestra for our successful 2011 season launch concert at Cadogan Hall on January 15th. It certainly was an eventful evening: a packed Cadogan Hall, broken strings and incredible virtuosity from guest director, Andrew Haveron, all finished off by a standing ovation. We're so proud of the players and Andrew for getting the ACO off to such a good start!
