I’m so thrilled to be joining Bach Akademie Australia for their next live-streamed performance via the Melbourne Digital Concert Hall.
Wherever you are in the world – you’ll be able to purchase tickets and ‘tune in’ to see and hear a wonderful program that includes Bach’s extraordinary early cantata Actus Tragicus (BWV106) and the joyous Brandenburg Concerto No. 4. The best part? The cost of your ticket goes direct to the artists on stage. Please visit the MDCH website below for more event and ticket details.

Sincere thanks to the amazing team and supporting partners behind the scenes at MDCH for innovating and creating meaningful work during this time of pandemic and uncertainty for many in the arts.
BACH AKADEMIE AUSTRALIA – BACH’S UNIVERSAL LIGHT
For so many of us, 2020 has been exceptionally hard thus far. With this in mind, we present a journey from darkness into light through Bach’s universal genius. ‘In memoriam’ for 2020, we begin with his haunting early cantata ‘Actus Tragicus’. Paring the music back to just one instrument, Bach’s solo works are featured drawing us towards a turning point of hope and light. No composition of his urges us onwards towards joy more than his Brandenburg Concerto no. 4.
