After announcing its massive 2026 program (with tickets on sale now via aso.com.au), the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra (ASO) have revealed they will be taking things regional with three fantastic shows as part of the ASO’s 90th anniversary celebrations.
The 2026 season will now include events in Murray Bridge, Mount Gambier and the Barossa Valley across March and April next year, giving regional folk the chance to experience everything the ASO has to offer.
“The ASO has a deep history of performing across South Australia and is committed to bringing the orchestra to as many people as possible,” says Colin Cornish AM. “We are delighted to be able to present the ASO in the Murraylands, Limestone Coast and Barossa Valley.”
Returning to Murray Bridge for the first time in over ten years, along with Mount Gambier, the ASO will host concerts featuring popular classics from the likes of Mozart, Beethoven and Saint-Saëns, and music from Mendelssohn’s magical A Midsummer Night’s Dream. These concerts will be led by conductor and long-time ASO collaborator Guy Noble, who can’t wait for the shows.
“It will be an action-packed 75 minutes of great orchestral music, stories and fun. I hope everyone can come along when the ASO rolls into town,” said Noble.
Those living in and around the Barossa Valley will get to experience iconic works from the likes of Haydn, Strauss, Mozart and Grainger under the baton of dynamic young conductor Sam Weller.
“Visiting regional South Australia is always incredibly enjoyable for us as players,” says Andrew Penrose, Principal Timpani “The audiences bring a contagious enthusiasm which infects the orchestra. Bringing these moments to the regions in our 90th year will be a special occasion.”
