Australian Brandenburg Orchestra 2021
ARTISTIC DIRECTOR: PAUL DYER AO
2021 Season
Artistic Director Paul Dyer and his merry band welcome you back into City Recital Hall for Season 2021 with a renewed sense of passion and purpose.
They open with a flourish of Baroque trumpets and sackbutts for Handel’s Rome and will give Australian audiences a chance to see incredible international artists in this time of limited international travel.
Musicians get their buzz and energy from each other and from their audiences, sharing their excitement during a surging crescendo and feeling the collective bliss in the space between the final note of an aria and the audience’s applause.
The Australian Brandenburg Orchestra and Brandenburg Choir are looking forward to sharing the magic of live performance with you once again.
