The Austin Civic Orchestra fosters the transformative power of orchestral music through diverse, accessible concerts and innovative educational programs for the Greater Austin community.

The Austin Civic Orchestra (ACO) is a non-profit civic organization that has been around since 1977. The ACO is devoted to bringing high quality music to the community and providing a musical outlet for professional and non-professional musicians alike. The ACO performs six to eight concerts each season, all of which offer programming to suit a wide variety of musical tastes, from traditional classics to pops and most everything in between. Presented at assorted convenient locations in the Austin area, the relaxed atmosphere and affordable cost have proven appealing to this community.  Our educational programs for youth and adults foster the appreciation of classical music.
