Australian Brandenburg Orchestra

Art of Fugue

Circa

Art of Fugue
The Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, renowned for its spirited reimagining of the Baroque, joins forces with Brisbane’s premier acrobatic ensemble Circa for a performance that defies our expectations of mind and body, music and movement.

Just as fans have spent decades analysing the final frames of The Sopranos, musicologists have spent centuries analysing the ending of The Art of Fugue.

Did Bach intend to stop there as a philosophical statement? Did he die at that exact moment? Is the final page simply lost? Dive into an extraordinary experience where Bach’s awe-inspiring final work meets the breathtaking physicality of contemporary acrobatics.

Feel the complex structure and intellectual depth of Bach’s work through Paul Dyer and the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra’s vibrant interpretation of The Art of Fugue.

And let the dynamic, gravity-defying choreography of Circa’s ensemble, led by Artistic Director Yaron Lifschitz, captivate the senses and lead you to dizzying heights.

Commissioned by the Moss Arts Center, Virginia Tech, and the University of Georgia Performing Arts Center.
