Christmas concert! In the Laeiszhalle! Where else? Brandenburg an der Havel is really beautifully situated, but – for understandable reasons – cannot boast a comparable concert hall. So we are bringing the first Brandenburg concert to Hamburg, with a brilliant ensemble led by Primarius Adrian Iliescu on the Violino concertato, which also makes the journey home on the holiday night infinitely more pleasant than a trip anywhere else. Bach is known to have set off for Hamburg in 1720 – a small trip around the world for the Köthen native at the time, but also a very painful one: his first wife Maria Barbara had died suddenly just a few weeks earlier while he was in Karlsbad. The first of Bach's "Concerts avec plusieurs instruments" from March 1721 should therefore be particularly dear to our hearts.
