The Directors’ Cut | Les Gôuts Réunis

Genesis Chamber Series
12-13 June 2026
Melbourne | Castlemaine

Join Genesis Baroque's Artistic Director Jennifer Kirsner and Principal Music Director Donald Nicolson and friends for works by some of their all-time favourite composers.

The ultimate mixed bag of treats from Bohemia to England, via Italy, Spain, and France. A wintery, warming, eclectic musical romp that showcases the trailblazing imagination of the baroque age.
