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.
