Welcome!

Welcome to the new SoundAdvice blog, the latest version of ACO’s outspoken corner of the web! Here we post commentary from our audiences about the new and unusual music heard at recent ACO performances, as well as commentary from the artists and composers featured at ACO events. SoundAdvice was created as a way for listeners to provide feedback to composers and the orchestra, to allow you to be heard and to learn how your opinions compare to others, and most importantly, to promote discussion amongst musicians and audiences alike about new orchestral music. We firmly believe that engendering dialogue is one of the most important ingredients in the process of building new musical works into the repertoire, and that—like sports, politics, and cinema—everyone has an opinion!
