LMP play Bach’s Brandenburgs
Friday 17 October 2025
7:00 pm - 8:10 pm
In 1977, the Voyager spacecraft launched into the cosmos carrying some particularly precious cargo: two vinyl records designed to showcase Earth’s rich musical heritage to any curious extraterrestrials who might stumble across them. Among the selections was Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No.5.
The Brandenburg Concertos are a series of six groundbreaking works, three of which LMP will bring to life in this concert. Ever the visionary, Bach pushed the boundaries of the Baroque, experimenting with unique instrumental pairings and daring combinations that had never been heard. Combined with on-the-edge-of-your-seat flashy solo passages, the Brandenburg’s have remained as some of Bach’s most popular music. All-in-all, quite deserving of a space on what can only be described as planet earth’s greatest hits.
To enhance your listening experience, St Martin’s will be transformed into a digital gallery in true cosmic fashion as bespoke, live projections fill the walls as the orchestra plays.
This concert lasts one hour 10 minutes with no interval.
