Apeiron Baroque in Braidwood

Apeiron Baroque was launched in 2022 by Early Music specialists, John Ma and Marie Searles. After honing their skills in the concert halls and ensembles of Europe over nearly two decades, the pair returned to Canberra to reconnect with family and to share their knowledge and experience with Australian colleagues and audiences.

We owe the concept of apeiron (ἀπείρων) to the ancient Greeks. Apeiron means getting back to the root of things. Summoning up a fleeting form – whether a musical phrase, a feeling, or an idea – from long ago and giving it new life. It is a wild thing, which when captured always escapes; and when heard always disappears, never to be heard again. But it leaves us a little changed. Hopefully resonating with those other moments of beauty and truth that have changed us before too.

Join Apeiron Baroque, as we discover some rare gems for Harpsichord and Violin (and d’amore) from our favourite era of music. Animals, fantastic dances, and heart-rending harmonies are on the menu for our debut Braidwood concert!
