Four Bach masterworks – on one night!
Mercury performs four of Bach’s six Brandenburg Concertos on period instruments in a concert that is sure to fill every seat! Some of the most exemplary works of the Baroque era, Bach’s concertos are ingenious and engaging. Hear them on period-instruments and experience the Brandenburgs as Bach and their first audience would have.
This concert is made possible in part by the Houston Endowment and the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance.
