Freiburg Baroque Orchestra



Australian Premiere / Exclusive to Adelaide

Germany

“The Freiburg Baroque Orchestra is a diamond of particular brilliance”

Salzburger Nachrichten

Regarded by many as the finest period instrument ensemble in the world today, the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra presents two stunning programs.

The first brings to life one of the most memorable melodies in the western tradition, the immortal Air from Suite No 3 in D Major from a complete performance of J.S. Bach’s beloved four Orchestral Suites.

The second program, exclusive to Adelaide, celebrates works of the giants of the German Baroque and includes an overture by J.S. Bach’s cousin Johann Bernhard Bach, a composer the master held in high esteem. Combining expert research into the playing techniques, technologies and sources of 17th, 18th and early 19th century music with a captivating joy in music making, the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra brings the music of the past leaping into the 21st century.

Program ONE  • SUN 4 MAR
J.S. Bach: Four Complete Orchestral Suites

J.S. Bach: Sinfonia in D Major from Easter Oratorio BWV 249 Concerto in D Minor BWV 1060R
