The Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra

The Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra, co-directed by Racheal Beesley and Nicole van Bruggen, will return to the concert stage with their debut performance here at Hills Grammar in 2021 on Tuesday 16 February at 6:30pm in the RJ Phipps Performance Centre. For more information about the entire series of concerts to be held here at Hills Grammar in 2021, please visit the Trybooking website here or the ARCO website. In describing his own Les Illuminations, Benjamin Britten wrote, “The word ‘Illuminations’ suggests both the vision of a mystic and a brightly coloured picture.” It is this sense of a technicolour canvas that the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra invokes in ILLUMINATE, featuring works by Bruch, Britten and Tchaikovsky. Directed by Rachael Beesley and featuring soprano Jacqueline Porter, join us on a European musical journey from the comfort of the concert hall. Details regarding the COVID plan for these events will be finalised very soon. If you wish to be contacted with further details, please email with subject ‘ARCO Concert’ to music@hillsgrammar.nsw.edu.au to receive further updates.
