YMP - Breaking Bach

WORLD PREMIERE 
BEANBAG CONCERT SERIES

Discover Johann Sebastian Bach from a fresh perspective in this world premiere where classical music meets hip hop and contemporary dance.

This event is available to Young Musician’s Pass members. Booking opens at 12noon on 19 May and closes 5pm on 30 June. Tickets are likely to sell fast so don't wait.

The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, performing on 18th-century period instruments, is joined by a troupe of dancers whose new choreography brings Bach’s music to life. 

Award-winning choreographer Kim Brandstrup returns to the Festival after his acclaimed Minotaur (2023). This August, he collaborates with professional dancers and young talent from Acland Burghley School in London. Brandstrup's original choreography is inspired by the pulsing rhythms of Bach's music, including his Double Violin Concerto and vibrant Third Brandenburg Concerto.

Enjoy this electrifying fusion of contemporary dance and classical music from the comfort of a beanbag.
