The Australian Brandenburg Orchestra is delighted to bring the timeless beauty of Baroque music to your doorstep as part of our 2025 Regional New South Wales tour.

Step back in time with Brandenburg to experience 18^th century Paris. Follow in the footsteps of nobles and commoners alike through the musical landscape of one of history's most captivating cities, a thriving cultural hub alive with church bells and street clatter where sacred and secular traditions merge into one. While on this Parisian Promenade through famous churches, chapels, private salons, and the city’s vibrant places and rues enjoy the virtuosity of court composers Marc-Antoine Charpentier and François Couperin alongside sublime chamber music by Joseph Bodin de Boismortier, Marin Marais and George Phillip Telemann, and popular brunettes or chansons from Christophe Ballard and Michel Lambert.

Under the direction of Principal Second Baroque Violinist Ben Dollman, our ensemble of specialist Baroque performers including flautist Mikaela Oberg, Principal Theorbo and Baroque Guitar Tommie Andersson, and keyboardist Nathan Cox on chamber organ will demonstrate the remarkable range of French Baroque style, bringing this centuries music to life. Young Mentorship Participant Aaron Erdstein lends his commanding baritone voice to complete this portrait of the golden age in French music. Experience the elegance, drama, and joie de vivre of Baroque Paris in this unmissable performance.
