nationwide tour by the world-renowned Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment (OAE) will begin in Manchester on Tuesday, 5 November. This special one-night performance will feature J.S. Bach’s complete timeless Brandenburg Concertos.
The performance is a rare opportunity to hear the Brandenburg Concertos as the composer intended: on authentic original instruments, with animal gut strings and valveless brass.
OAE will recreate Bach’s stunning sound world, just as the composer envisioned, in the glorious setting of Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall.
Double Bassist and Chair of the OAE Players’ Artistic Committee Cecelia Bruggemeyer said: “The Brandenburg Concertos are some of the most beloved works in the repertoire, and we are thrilled to be sharing them with audiences across the UK this autumn, in the concert hall and beyond. They are such jewels, brilliantly showcasing, not just our beloved baroque instruments and players, but Bach’s endless imagination and inventiveness in creating these six unique sound worlds.”
