This is Baroque at its most jubilant. Join the full force of the Brandenburg Choir and Orchestra for a blockbuster celebration of musical brilliance, beauty, and sheer joy.

At the heart of the program are three of Bach’s most iconic cantatas alongside the beloved Double Violin Concerto in D minor — a showcase of dazzling interplay and expressive depth.

The second half bursts with colour and character: from Telemann’s Overture in D major to the splendour of two of Handel’s regal anthems, Zadok the Priest and The King shall rejoice

With choir and orchestra at full strength, this is an electrifying and joy-filled performance that revels in the grandeur and invention of the Baroque. Come ready to be uplifted — this is music that fills the hall and the heart.
