Three hundred years ago, in 1721, Bach sent a parcel containing six concertos to the Margrave of Brandenburg. The passage of the years still leaves many questions about this gift unanswered.
How did this very disparate collection come together? Were they ever played for their dedicatee? What was Bach keen to demonstrate? Why has their influence lasted for three hundred years? We shall investigate these issues, and more besides, in the context of a detailed look at all six concertos.
Day 1: Thursday February 17th Time: 10am – 12.30 Background and Concertos 1 and 2
Day 2: Thursday February 24th Time: 10am – 12.30 Concertos 3 to 6 and the legacy
