Theofanidis – Muse
Concertmaster, Min-Young Kim will lead Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos
Nos. 1, 3, and 4 showcase the brilliance, variety, and invention of one of
music’s most enduring masterpieces. Each concerto offers its own
distinctive character, from the festive energy of No. 1 to the pure string
vitality of No. 3 and the sparkling interplay of No. 4. Complementing Bach’s
music is Christopher Theofanidis’s Muse, a contemporary response inspired
by Brandenburg Concerto No. 3. Together, these works place Baroque form
and modern imagination in dialogue across three centuries.

Brandenburg and Bach with David Hayes

Philadelphia Ethical Society
1906 Rittenhouse Square
Philadelphia, PA 19103
Music Director David Hayes explores the brilliance and complexity of Bach’s
Brandenburg Concertos—six remarkably inventive works that showcase a different and often daring combination of instruments. Written during a period when Bach was deeply engaged with secular instrumental music, the Brandenburg Concertos reveal the composer at his most imaginative and adventurous. David will illuminate what makes these works so distinctive and why, more than 300 years later, they remain among the great achievements of the Baroque era.
