Weekend Concert Series
ACRONYM
The Complete Brandenburg Concertos
Sunday
September 14, 2025
1:30 - 3:30 pm
Calderwood Hall
The period-instrument superstars ACRONYM open the Gardner Music season playing all six Brandenburg Concertos on plusieurs instruments, as Bach wrote on the title page: flutes, recorders, trumpets, hunting horns, gambas and violins of every size, a motley “kitchen” of continuo instruments, and more! In anticipation of overwhelming demand, the whole set will be performed twice—once on Saturday and once on Sunday. Not to be missed!
THIS PERFORMANCE IS ON SUNDAY.
