Ben Crick directs Bach’s complete set of six Brandenburg Concertos over two concerts alongside works inspired by the great master.

JS Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos stand among the greatest creative achievements of the 18th century. Each concerto is written for a different and innovative combination of instruments with many of them given solo spots. This second Bach and Beyond concert concludes the set with Concertos 3, 5 and 6 – watch out for some astonishing harpsichord pyrotechnics and a viola da gamba or two.

Soprano Jennifer Clark joins the orchestra for the Bachianas Brasileiras No.5, the best known of Villa-Lobos’ tributes to Bach, plus a hauntingly beautiful set of songs by Sibelius. And the Margrave of Brandenburg, to whom Bach presented his concertos in an attempt to secure work, is the subject of Ben Gaunt’s new piece Six Beautiful Reasons You Didn’t Get The Job.
