A mass music gathering for all

After months of collaboration between professional musicians, ASO players, beginners, and everyone in between, the Citizens’ Orchestra will bring the Maths Lawn to life with music created by and for the community.

Part of the Floods of Fire festival during the closing days of the Adelaide Festival, stay on after a day of free pop-up performances into the evening to hear the magic of Citizens’ Orchestra.

Gather your family and friends together, bring a picnic rug and lift your spirits at this free mass music gathering for all ages.

About Citizens’ Orchestra

After the resounding success of the 2023 Adelaide Festival opening, Citizens’ Orchestra returns! Over the last few months, we invited all citizens to join this intercultural, intergenerational orchestra and chorus. Through engaging workshops, participants collaborated with Music Directors Tim Steiner and Ricardo Baptista, alongside ASO musicians to co-create a performance piece which will be presented in a one-night-only performance.
