Audiences across Australia will be able to experience the ACO perform one of the greatest pieces of music ever written, JS Bach’s Goldberg Variations, in an illuminating string arrangement by Canadian conductor Bernard Labadie, as the full concert is streamed live via the Australian Chamber Orchestra and Sydney Opera House Facebook pages.
Joining the Goldberg Variations on the program is a string arrangement of Stravinsky’s Three Pieces for String Quartet, Thomas Adès’ Nightfalls from The Four Quarters and Bach’s Canons on a Goldberg Ground, presented in one of Richard Tognetti’s signature arrangements.
