2. Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment – The Brandenburg Concertos

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.

3. The Brandenburg Concertos On Tour

The Brandenburg Concertos present one of music’s great riddles. Bach sent them to Christian Ludwig, the Margrave of Brandenburg and brother of King Frederick I of Prussia, as a gift in 1721. For reasons unknown, he seems to have quietly filed them away after which they changed hands several times before being ‘lost’ until around 1850 when they were eventually published as a set.
