Presented by Australian Brandenburg Orchestra

Baroque Masters

The icons. The energy. The essence of the Brandenburg.

The 2026 Season opens with a vibrant tribute to the composers who sit at the very heart of the Brandenburg's identity. Led by Artistic Director Paul Dyer, this concert celebrates the music that continues to inspire us, year after year.

Baroque Masters brings together the greats in one uplifting program. Enjoy the grandeur of Handel's Concerto Grosso in G, Op.6 No.1, the joyful inventiveness of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos, the timeless elegance of Pachelbel's Canon, and the fiery brilliance of Vivaldi.

This is music that showcases the full range of the Brandenburg's artistry. From delicate solos to full ensemble fireworks, the orchestra moves with style, precision, and passion through some of the most enduring works of the Baroque.

Whether you're rediscovering favourites or hearing them live for the first time, this is the perfect way to start the year. Baroque Masters is a celebration of everything that makes this music, and this orchestra, unforgettable.
