In 2024, we embarked on the most ambitious project of the ACC’s 19-year history. As part of our European concert tour that year, we visited Venice to present the modern premiere performance of a 300-year-old Cantata by Agatha della Pietà, who lived at the Venice orphanage where Vivaldi taught. Our documentary, entitled Agatha’s Story, showcasing the ACC on tour in Germany and culminating in Venice, will air on SBS television in August and will then become a part of the international film festival circuit. The documentary, made possible by the generosity of our donors, introduces audiences all over the world to the only surviving work composed by an orphan of the Ospedale della Pietà – an important new piece of music history, with the ACC front and centre.
Like most arts organisations, we find that even in a normal year, income from ticket sales is not sufficient to cover our operating costs. Donations have helped us to pay all our singers for every Australian performance since 2010. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation, so that we can continue to pay our singers, present regional concerts, produce videos and CDs and make plans to continue the journey. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference.
