"That's the idea behind ACO Underground: to get people together who are curious about and interested in skipping musical boundaries" - Satu Vänskä (ACO Underground founder)If you've had the pleasure of hearing classical music, you know it can be a cathartic experience. But what about when the boundaries between bands and composers like Radiohead and Bach or Vivaldi and Nirvana are blurred to create an amalgam of grunge, rock and classical music?Led by multi-talented founder and frontwoman Satu Vänskä, that's exactly what this electro-acoustic collective (ACO standing for Australian Chamber Orchestra) presented at The Standard in December; an evening of genre-bending ballads, German cabaret and grunge classics, starring special guests Brian Ritchie (Violent Femmes), Jim Moginie (Midnight Oil), Joseph and James Tawadros, and Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood..
