The Australian Brandenburg Orchestra is a mid-sized ensemble of leading specialists from across Australia that focuses on music from the 16th to the 18th centuries, performing with period instruments and using original edition scores. Led by Artistic Director Paul Dyer, the group seeks to bring new life to baroque and classical works and has earned multiple ARIA awards and a Helpmann Award. Based in Mascot, New South Wales, it originated in 1989 and has participated in the Major Performing Arts Group since 2003 to broaden performing arts across Australia. The orchestra serves audiences nationwide through performances in Sydney and Melbourne, with a regular touring program established to Brisbane in 2015 and a commitment to reaching regional communities. A notable 2022 development was a collaboration with Circa Contemporary Circus for Italian Baroque repertoire featuring Renato Dolcini.
