This world-first installation places visitors in the middle of the virtual orchestra where they can conduct, isolate parts and even play along. AOC Virtual will have music by Grieg, Bach, Smalley and Piazzolla allowing visitors to experience performing music from right across the ages with one of the world’s greatest chamber orchestras. It will be a multi-sensory experience that immediately draws in all visitors.

From teachers and students using the exhaustive education resources, to musicians looking for inspiration or young children drawn to the opportunity to take control, ACO Virtual is bound to be a hit with locals and those in Dubbo for the school holidays.

The opening at 2pm will feature senior string students from the Macquarie Conservatorium. ACO Virtual is supported by Australia Council for the Arts, Create NSW, Minderoo and Mod Productions.
