Brandenburg - Tapas

Whet your appetite for fine music with a spicy mix from southern Europe in Baroque Tapas, inspired by songs and dances of love, fire, beauty and freedom, and performed by soloists of the ARIA-award-winning Australian Brandenburg Orchestra.

The music featured in this thrilling live performance appears on Tapas, the orchestra’s new album, to be released by ABC Classics in March. 

The first 30 Herald subscribers to book tickets for this tasty number at the City Recital Hall, Angel Place, on March 17 will receive a copy of the orchestra’s 2009 ARIA-winning Handel CD and a free concert program worth $43!

This is a rare opportunity to experience the irresistible improvised rhythms of 16th- and 17th-century Spain, Portugal and Italy, with some surprisingly passionate input from Germany, performed live on period instruments. Tickets start at $55. The offer ends on March 8 (or when all 30 CDs have been allocated).

Call the Brandenburg box office on (02) 9328 7581, 9am- 4.30pm weekdays and quote “Herald” or visit the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra website.
