Australian Chamber Orchestra at the 3rd Niseko Winter Music Festival

12 January 2012 - 14 January 2012

Four evening performances by the Australian Chamber Orchestra (ACO) will be held in three cosy halls near Niseko Village on 12-14 January, 2012.

Richard Tognetti, Artistic Director & Lead Violin, is well-known as an avid skier.  Add that to his penchant for running festivals in off-beat locations, and the ACO presents a winter music festival in the heart of Japan's prime ski fields.  Niseko, on the island of Hokkaido in Japan's far north, is renowned as one of the world's lightest and driest powder skiing destinations, and for its fabulous ski runs, mountain scenery and hot springs.

The ACO has toured Japan four times in the last three years and has been attracting Japanese audiences with their stunning and stylish staging.  Joining Mr Tognetti and musicians and emerging artists from the ACO is one of Japan's favourite sons, classical guitarist, Yasuji Ohagi and local Taiko drummers, Yotei Taiko Koryu.
