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.

    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.

    Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
    To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.

    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.

    Even when individual works did not fully land for me dramaturgically, there is no denying the precision, intelligence and care of the artists creating them.

    Unabashedly and unapologetically entertaining, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels delights in its hoax hokum, a whimsical hustle of musical comedy bustle.
