Bach and the Barber Guest soloist, baritone Hans-Georg Wimmer (Germany)

When was the last time you felt absolutely alive?

Characters driven by life and love were the inspiration for this concert. Naughty, playful and profound, these arias will be vividly brought to life by the charismatic baritone Hans-Georg Wimmer, together with the Brandenburg Orchestra performing on period instruments.

Hans-Georg Wimmer is the consumate entertainer, and he will bring his glorious, rich sound to a stunning range of music, including a riotous piece from The Barber of Seville, an aria of stirring passion from Ariodante and the profoundly beautiful cantata by J.S.Bach, Ich habe genug.

This is a rare Brandenburg presentation of works spanning over 200 years, which will also include the delightful overtures from The Magic Flute and The Italian Girl in Algiers.
