“This was their first performance experience. It was a wonderful start to their musical journey for life. I feel quite emotional when I reflect on this amazing opportunity for children – literacy, learning and so much more.”
Kindergarten teacher, ASO school project
In 2021 the ASO increased its engagement with disadvantaged and regional schools, in response to surveyed teachers reporting that their classes had never seen a live orchestra before.
Through generous support from donors:
7,922 children attended an ASO concert
1,719 tickets were provided free of charge to disadvantaged students
1,371 disadvantaged students were provided with bus transport in order to access concerts
63 teachers participated in Professional Development workshops
11 regional schools experienced an ASO concert
The ASO delivered its first relaxed concerts designed for children with additional needs
