In 2013-14 the Academy of Ancient Music\u00a0will present its first London season exclusively at the Barbican, thereby becoming a central part of one of the world\u2019s most vibrant artistic communities. Alongside large-scale performances in the Barbican Hall, the AAM gives five concerts at Milton Court Concert Hall, the Guildhall School\u2019s new building, and latest addition to the growing \u2018cultural quarter\u2019 in the heart of the City of London. With a capacity of 608 seats the concert hall is the perfect venue for intimate baroque and classical performances.<\/p>\n
The 40th anniversary season, led by Music Director Richard Egarr, displays the breadth of the AAM\u2019s music making: starting at the dawn of the baroque with a stellar-cast performance of Monteverdi\u2019s L\u2019Orfeo<\/em> (1607), and ending in the nineteenth century with Beethoven\u2019s monumental Symphony No. 9 (1824). Along the way the AAM surveys the music of JS Bach, Vivaldi, Haydn and Mozart, and unearths lesser-known works of the composers of the Bach dynasty.<\/p>\n Highlights from the season include:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n The AAM\u2019s first London season exclusively at the Barbican, with concerts in the Barbican Hall and Milton Court Concert Hall which opens in September 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n In 2013-14 the Academy of Ancient Music\u00a0will present its first London season exclusively at the Barbican, thereby becoming a central part of one of the world\u2019s most vibrant artistic communities.
