Founded in 2016, The Australian Session Orchestra has quickly become a trusted name in the world of musician contractors. Owned and operated by touring musicians Daniel Lopez and cellist Eleanor Streatfeild, the session orchestra works with literally hundreds of musicians, many who are at the top of their industries, both classical and contemporary, in Australia. We are extremely proud of the quality of musicians we work with, and are privileged to call many of them friends and colleagues.

 

Initially based in Brisbane, the session orchestra has assembled orchestras in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Hobart, Launceston and Perth. 

 

Highlights include performing with international classical soloist Yundi Li, providing both classical and jazz backing bands for the Noosa Alive Festival, performing at the 2021 NRL Grand Final, providing musicians for Megan Washington's music video "Batflowers" supporting Mirusia Louwerse's national tour, and a long standing association with conductor George Ellis, to our current 3 state tour "Classic Country Gold" with Darren Coggan, Amber Joy Poulton, and Lizzie Moore.

​

We're always interested in new projects and collaborations. Contact us to book session musicians for live shows and studio recordings.
