What happens when music and dance come together on equal footing? With “Goldberg in Motion” Bach & now! – Agathenburg Bach Festival 2027 presents an extraordinary artistic project that brings Johann Sebastian Bach’s Goldberg Variations to life in a whole new dimension.
The famous music is paired with a choreography specially created by Yuri Hamano and performed by dancers from the Semperoper Dresden. In the musical interpretation by the Paris-based ensemble Fidelio, the Goldberg Variations are performed in an arrangement for string trio. Thus, two distinct art forms come together: music and movement, sound and the body, musical structure and dance expression.
This creates an exciting space for new perspectives on one of the most fascinating works in music history—an experience that makes Bach’s music not only audible, but also visible and physically tangible.
“Goldberg in Motion”—an innovative fusion of Bach, dance, and movement.
