Internationally esteemed, GRAMMY-nominated American countertenor Reginald Mobley joins period performance specialists Bach Akademie Australia (BAA) for a dramatic and moving program of music by JS Bach and Troy Russell.
BAA was founded in 2016 by violinist Madeleine Easton, and dedicates itself to performing the music of JS Bach. Reginald Mobley is renowned as a period and baroque specialist, frequently collaborating with the Monteverdi Choir and Orchestra, the Academy of Ancient Music, the New York Philharmonic and the Boston Symphony Orchestra, among others.
Together, their innovative program for the ORC juxtaposes the striking imagination of Bach’s secular instrumental works with vocal arias and recitatives from Bach’s Cantatas. The musical selection is drawn from across the span of Bach’s working life and delicately interweaves vocal and instrumental parts to provide an afternoon of unique insight into the mind and inspiration of this revered composer.
