PlanetBach in motion

 

    The stony solidity of the Goldberg Variations (literally “golden mountain”) allows us to explore Bach’s cosmos with a proposal that combines string trio, dance and harmony singing in a premiere production. The Bach Universe will literally be set in motion in one of Cervera’s most unique heritage gems: the church of Sant Domènec.

A collaboration with the baroque string trio Meteor, the harmony singing choir MuOm and Emanuele Soavi Incompany.
