Ayres & Graces

The Australian Brandenburg Orchestra is delighted to welcome you back to the concert hall and online for a very special concert series, Ayres & Graces.

Celebrating chamber music from the English and French Baroque, Ayres & Graces is directed by Principal Baroque Flute/Recorder Melissa Farrow and lead by an ensemble of Brandenburg musicians performing on an eclectic combination of period instruments.

Be enthralled by music from the French Baroque performed uniformly in the style of Jean-Baptiste Lully, before stepping out into the centre of eighteenth-century London in a program brimming with the sounds that attracted entrepreneurial musicians such as George Frideric Handel to the city.

Set to a dream world of colour and sound with a stage-wide LED screen illuminated with imagery curated by Australian designer Silvana Azzi Heras, we welcome you to join us for our socially distanced performances in Sydney’s City Recital Hall from 27-31 October or online for the digital première at 5 pm on Sunday 1 November.
