The Australian Brandenburg Orchestra is set to a series of concerts of Baroque music featuring three soloists under the age of 30: two violinists and a soprano.

The concerts will showcase rising stars 11-year-old violinist Christian Li, violinist Annie Gard, and soprano Madison Nonoa performing a program of instrumental and vocal music by Bach, Handel, and Vivaldi alongside the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra in Sydney and Melbourne.

Nonoa won the hearts of Noël! Noël! audiences in her celebrated performances with the Brandenburg in 2016 and has been studying with Yvonne Kenny at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London and will perform an exquisite selection of arias by Handel, many of which Yvonne herself has performed and recorded with the Brandenburg. She was a finalist in the 2016 Lexus Song Quest, where she was selected as the Dame Kiri Te Kanawa Foundation “Most Promising Singer.”

Meanwhile Liis the youngest-ever winner of the Junior Prize at the prestigious Menuhin Competition in Geneva. Gard has trained at the Juilliard School and will treat audiences to a gut string performance of J.S. Bach’s colossal Chaconne from Partita No. 2 in D minor, and a dazzling violin concerto by Vivaldi.

Performances are set for Sept. 11 through 22, 2019.
