The Brandenburg Concertos
 

Bach Akademie Australia is thrilled to present J.S. Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos to Sydney in a stellar program of unbridled joy, from Saturday 15 to Sunday 16 November, at The Neilson, ACO on the Pier.

In an extraordinary conclusion to their 2025 season, Bach Akademie Australia’s Artistic Director, Madeleine Easton, will lead 20 musicians in a 2-hour performance of all six Brandenburg Concertos at The Neilson concerts.

Six of the greatest works of the Baroque era, The Brandenburg Concertos were originally compiled in 1721 as an ambitious, yet unsuccessful, musical job application to Prussian military officer, the Margrave Christian Ludwig of Brandenburg-Schwedt. Jubilant and joyful, they call for a diverse and daring line-up of instruments, with combinations of horns, oboes, bassoon, trumpet, flutes and recorders, and a Baroque violin piccolo on display.
