AUSTRALIAN DISCOVERY ORCHESTRA

Principal Conductor: Kevin Purcell

The Australian Discovery Orchestra is Australia’s most innovative symphony orchestra. The exceptional roster of orchestral musicians performing with the ADO brings together the finest freelance players from across Australia who perform concerts designed as special, once-in-a-lifetime, events.

2024 MAIN CONCERT SEASON

The ADO would like to advise its supporters and the general public that from May 20, 2024, given the lack of direct action to identify and remove all posts representing and portraying harassment, bullying and violence in all its forms on the part of Facebook, Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), we will no longer make use of these social media channels as part of our public discourse. In place of this, a curated Newsletter will be introduced in the near future.
