British violinist Matthew Truscott will lead ACO Collective in Ecstatic Dances, a recital of dance music for string orchestra, at the Pilbeam Theatre in September. ACO Collective is the Australian Chamber Orchestra's critically acclaimed 17-piece string ensemble that brings together musicians of the ACO with Australia's most talented young professional string players to create a high-energy string orchestra. From the baroque elegance of Purcell's England to the dynamism of Australian composer Holly Harrison's Black Ice, commissioned especially for ACO Collective, the repertoire was especially chosen to showcase the vitality and virtuosity of the ensemble.
