Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment
JS Bach Brandenburg Concertos Nos.1–6
The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, one of the country’s leading period instrument ensembles, brings JS Bach’s sparkling box set to the Bridgewater Hall for one night only.
The concerti dedicated by Johann Sebastian Bach to the Margrave of Brandenburg in 1721 are truly six of the best. Each written for a different group of instruments, from the Technicolor majesty of No.1 to the small-scale sparkle of No.6, they’re individually remarkable and collectively peerless. No single work better captures the genius of the greatest composer to ever put pen to paper.
The OAE can’t choose their favourite – so they’re bringing the full set of six Brandenburgs to The Bridgewater Hall for this special concert on Bonfire Night. Expect fireworks!
