Description

Genesis Baroque presents a dazzling program featuring some of the most celebrated masterworks of the French and German Baroque.

The program opens with Georg Philipp Telemann’s elegant and triumphant suite for oboes, horns, and strings, followed by J.S. Bach’s glorious Brandenburg Concerto No.1, coloured with the sounds of hunting horns, oboes, and bassoon. And rounding out the program is Jean-Baptiste Lully's glittering, foot-stomping suite of dances from the Bourgeois Gentilhomme; music that will transport you straight to the outrageously gregarious, lavish Palace of Versailles!

The ensemble welcomes our 2026 emerging artists, joining us for this program.

Genesis Baroque, Melbourne/Naarm’s renowned period instrument chamber orchestra, was founded in 2017 by Artistic Director and violinist, Jennifer Kirsner. The ensemble comprises some of Australia’s preeminent historically-informed performers, who together explore the vibrant repertoire of the 17th and 18th centuries through intimate, dynamic concerts across Melbourne and regional Victoria.

Genesis Baroque collaborates with distinguished performers and other artists based locally, interstate and overseas, and has a particular focus on providing a platform for local and expatriate Australian musicians. The ensemble released its first studio album of Arcangelo Corelli’s Concerti Grossi Opus 6 in August 2020 with principal guest director, Sophie Gent, and founding music director, Lucinda Moon. The recording debuted as the highest selling Australian album on the ARIA classical album charts and received critical acclaim.
