A WORD FROM Paul & Bruce
A performance is always a journey we experience together with you. We sense your anticipation. We feed from your excitement. We rise with your applause.
Whether performing on stage or cheering from the stalls, those who step inside our concert halls rarely emerge the same people as those who entered. This is the magic of the alchemy created between us. As we embark on a new season, and indeed a new era for the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, we invite you to be engaged, be uplifted, be moved and be renewed, with us. Our 2024 season continues our bold mission to excite, to honour, to reinvent and to reignite the energy of early music with a creative trajectory that takes us to the far edges of the galaxy, to the limits of the imagination, to collective memories stitched into our history and culture, to the corners of the human experience, to the chambers of the heart. Traversing music from ancient to modern — from the uplifting force of harmonious voices, to a single soprano expertly suspending us on the edge of our seats; from the full orchestra, to next-generation soloists taking centre-stage; from narrative based storytelling, to pure sensuality words can barely define — we bring it all to you in 2024.
For the passionate loyalists who continue to join us on our journey, you stimulate us. You energise us. Your desire to be inspired is infectious, and we endeavour to continue breaking boundaries and forging our path forward, together with you. To our private, corporate and Government donors and partners, you challenge us to keep evolving. For placing your enduring trust, faith and belief in us, and fuelling our quest to conquer the limits of creative re-interpretation, we thank you. For those stepping on board to join us for the first time, it is our great privilege to reward your curiosity and test your preconceptions, assumptions and beliefs. Every guest brings their own energy to the experience, and we exist for you as much as for our seasoned fans. We welcome you to bravely traverse new dimensions, together. And so begins our journey…
