Welcome to Sydney 2010 Season


Artistic Director's Message


It’s our 21st birthday!

I hope you love a good party. And that you sing when you’re happy.

In 1989 the Brandenburg was born. On its first birthday it sang Handel.

It was Tuesday January 9th, 1990.

A one year old, in a theatre, under lights, in front of an excited audience.

And then, with its first breath, it filled the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall with the sounds of a Handel overture, and hearts were stirred.

It was music-making with French snakewood bows on the gut strings of baroque violins, wooden flutes, trumpets and horns without valves, a harpsichord, and the gorgeous sound of a mezzo soprano.

After performing the Brandenburg Concerto No 3 at breakneck speed, I went offstage and fainted. Not enough sugar.

It was a dramatic first step

In 2010, we celebrate this defining Brandenburg moment with a 21st birthday mix: a subscription season with five concerts that will sing to you – Vivaldi Olympia, Handel Coronation, and Mozart, Love & Paris; make you dance - Baroque Tarantella; and make you dream - Palazzo Baroque.

Let the party begin!
