Ben Crick directs Bach’s complete set of Brandenburg Concertos over two concerts alongside works inspired by the great master. 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. Alongside these are the Bachianas Brasileiras No.5, the best known of Villa Lobos’ tributes to Bach, and a new work by Ben Gaunt which receives its first performance.
