The Dallas Bach Society, 2010-2011, The Brandenburg Season
In 1721, Johann Sebastian Bach sent a collection of six instrumental concertos to Christian Ludwig, margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt, accompanied by a dedication page in his best court French, in the hope that he might be offered a position at the Margrave’s court. These works are widely regarded as perhaps the finest set of musical compositions of the Baroque era. This year, the Dallas Bach Society, along with some of the most talented musicians in the United States, will perform the entire set over the course of the season.
Subscribe today and hear the complete Brandenburg Concertos of J.S. Bach performed throughout a season of great muisic, with Baroque Dance, a German Baroque Christmas, Handel’s Messiah and Sing-Along, Bach’s Magnificat and Cello Suites, and Vivalid’s Four Seaons.
