Bach - Brandenburg Concerto No 5 - BWV 1050 - NSYO Sinfonia

Brandenburg Concerto No 5 by Johann Sebastian Bach, arranged by Merle J Isaac. Performed by NSYO Sinfonia conducted by Emily Palethorpe. The Brandenburg concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach (original title: Six Concerts à plusieurs instruments) are a collection of six instrumental works presented by Bach to Christian Ludwig, margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt in 1721 (though probably composed earlier). They are widely regarded as among the finest musical compositions of the Baroque era. Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 in D major, BWV 1050 makes use of a popular chamber music ensemble of the time (flute, violin, and harpsichord), which Bach used on their own for the middle movement. It is believed that it was written in 1719.

The repertoire includes a variety of popular, folk and classical music. Rehearsals are held on Wednesdays during Public School terms from 4pm to 5:45pm at Beecroft Presbyterian Church Hall, Mary St, Beecroft. The Northern Sydney Youth Orchestra (NSYO)is a non-profit community organisation. Our youth orchestras rehearse weekly at Beecroft in the north-western region of Sydney Australia and present several concerts and special performances each year. The NSYO changed its name from the Western Youth Orchestras at the beginning of 2006. The change of name is to reflect the location and drawing area of the association. Players come mainly from the northern and north-western suburbs of Sydney, although some members travel from other parts of Sydney, as far as Warriewood, Fairfield and Richmond.
