Bourgeois Baroque

Orchestral Series
20-21 September 2026
Melbourne | Bendigo

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, including a Cushion Concert for toddlers and caregivers in Bendigo, and full programs presented both in Bendigo and Melbourne.
