Bach, the Brandenburg Concertos – Complete Cycle Part 1: an exceptional immersion into Bach’s world
A journey into the heart of Bach’s genius
This programme is dedicated to three of the most iconic Brandenburg Concertos. At the beginning of the 18th century, Bach created these works as a demonstration of exceptional creativity and instrumental mastery. Each concerto explores a different colour, a unique energy and a new way of making instruments interact.
The first concerto stands out for its brilliant and festive character, with horns bringing an impressive sonic power. The second concerto pushes virtuosity to its highest level, bringing together several soloists in an intense and dazzling dialogue. Finally, the sixth concerto offers a more intimate and profound atmosphere, focused solely on the strings, providing a more emotional and contemplative dimension.
This musical diversity allows the audience to experience several worlds within a single performance, making the experience particularly rich and accessible, even for those discovering classical music for the first time.
An internationally renowned orchestra
The Freiburger Barockorchester is recognised as one of the finest ensembles specialising in the interpretation of Baroque music. For several decades, it has established itself through an approach faithful to historical performance practices and remarkable artistic standards.
What sets this orchestra apart is its ability to bring ancient works back to life with contemporary energy, while respecting the composer’s original intentions. Each musician contributes to a lively, precise and expressive interpretation, allowing the audience to rediscover Bach from a new perspective.
A performance on period instruments
One of the essential elements of this concert is the use of historical instruments. These instruments, similar to those used during Bach’s time, offer a different sound from modern orchestras. The tones are more natural, sometimes more raw, but also closer to the aesthetics of the 18th century.
This approach reveals details that are often hidden in modern interpretations and provides a more authentic reading of the works. The audience can therefore enjoy an immersive experience, almost like a journey through time.
An exceptional venue for a unique experience
The concert takes place at La Seine Musicale, located on Île Seguin in Boulogne-Billancourt. This venue has become a major cultural landmark thanks to its modern architecture and, above all, the exceptional quality of its acoustics.
The auditorium offers ideal conditions for classical music: every nuance, every instrument and every musical breath can be perfectly perceived. This allows for a clear, precise and immersive listening experience, enhancing the emotional impact of the concert.
Schedule and format
The concert is scheduled for 11:00 AM, with a duration of approximately 1 hour without an interval. This concise format allows audiences to fully enjoy the work without interruption, creating complete immersion from beginning to end.
This morning time slot also offers a different experience from traditional evening concerts, with a calmer atmosphere and particularly attentive listening.
Prices and accessibility
Tickets are available from €10, with price categories reaching approximately €49 depending on seating location. This range of prices allows a wide audience to access a high-quality musical experience.
Whether for a first introduction to Baroque music or for passionate Bach enthusiasts, this concert is suitable for all types of audiences.
Why it is important to book quickly
This type of event generally attracts a large audience, particularly due to the orchestra’s reputation and the popularity of Bach’s works. Classical music concerts of this quality often sell out quickly.
Booking in advance ensures the best seats and allows you to enjoy the experience with complete peace of mind, without the risk of availability issues. It also guarantees the opportunity to experience this moment in the best possible conditions, in a venue renowned for its comfort and acoustic quality.
A cultural experience not to be missed

Between orchestral power, soloist virtuosity and the finesse of the compositions, every moment of the concert is designed to captivate the listener. It is a unique opportunity to discover or rediscover major works performed at the highest level.
