Goldberg Variations – Ternary Patterns for Insomnia’ by Andersson Dance and the Scottish Ensemble returns to Stockholm in June 2022

15,000 people around the world have seen Bach’s iconic works performed by Andersson Dance and the string orchestra Scottish Ensemble. It is now coming back to Stockholm, Sweden, for 2 representations in June. Play the opening of the Goldberg Variations to someone today, and usually they all have heard it – whether in its original form, one of the many transcribed and transposed versions, or in a completely different setting in a totally different genre. It started life as a study for harpsichord; a simple aria, and a set of 30 variations where the aria functions as a hard drive for the whole work. 2015, Örjan Andersson (Andersson Dance) and Jonathan Morton (Scottish Ensemble) added their own. 11 musicians and 5 dancers perform Goldberg Variations as equal partners – both choreographed, the result is a singular experience of musician and dancer performing as one. It’s here that the subtleties of the interpretation come out; was Goldberg Variations intended to be a purely aural experience, or can we move to it? How do we, and how can we, experience these notes in the 21st century? Dates: June 2, 2022, 19.00 June 3, 2022, 13.00 June 3, 2022, 19.00 Folkoperan, Stockholm, Sweden Buy tickets  More information about the work
