Title
American Classical Orchestra
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- The American Classical Orchestra celebrates classical music performance on original instruments, specializing in repertoire from the 17th-19th centuries. Founded by Artistic Director Thomas Crawford in 1985 as the Orchestra of the Old Fairfield Academy, the Orchestra works to render more faithfully music of the Baroque, Classic, and early Romantic eras. Interested in reviving and preserving the art of playing original instruments, the ACO also fosters the education of musicians and the public in authentic performance technique.
- The Orchestra's mission is to bring classical music to the widest possible audience through an annual subscription concert series, education programs for adults, Classical Music for Kids (an education program for school children and their families) and performance engagements at public and private locations throughout the year.
