We are celebrating our return to the stage with a spectacular program inspired by the music of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.

Baroque and Beyond sees Richard Tognetti lead the ACO through four masterworks of the Baroque era, including Summer from Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, JS Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No.3 and a grand Concerto Grosso by Handel, before tracing the influence of the Baroque throughout the centuries.

The virtuosity and brilliance of the ACO will be on full display in music ranging from Edvard Grieg’s Holberg Suite to the minimalism of Steve Reich and ballet music by Igor Stravinsky. These concerts also premiere the first public performances of a stunning new orchestral arrangement of Bach’s iconic Chaconne by Richard himself.

After so many months away from the concert hall, we can’t wait to be back and perform for you in November.
