Baroque meets flamenco in the life cycle of Bach’s Goldberg Variations. Sound choreography and musical virtuosity form an equal dialogue: a concert to be seen, heard, and felt.

Goldberg Variations - Dance Concert

The collaboration between harpsichordist Eva Dolinšek and choreographer and dancer Anja Mejač unfolds this time in the timeless space of the Goldberg Variations. To play the score – to forget a part of oneself. For the harpsichordist, the Goldberg Variations represent a life cycle: they begin and end with the same idea. To dance Goldberg is to dance the music. For a flamenco dancer, whose steps are heard, it also means truly knowing the music. The choreographic foundations emerge from the study of the musical score; the choreographer translates the left-hand line into sonic and spatial compositions, weaving them into the flow of improvisation in dance. How can one truly understand such a complex composition? By taking it and making it one’s own. Musically, it is a demanding solo work; in the world of choreography too, dancing Goldberg has earned a status of its own. The two performers craft a dialogue in polyphony – across periods, styles, times, and spaces. Perhaps baroque and flamenco have more in common than we might think – both wrapped in a veil of grandeur, both steeped in deep sorrow.

 

Celje, Celje Music School

Glasbena šola Celje (Celje Music School) is located in historical buildings on Slomškov trg (Slomšek Square) in the old town center of Celje, which provides a picturesque backdrop for concerts and other cultural events. Variously sized and furnished halls offer both a modern ambience and those with a touch of the past, and the indoor atrium "INTIMO" is also an unbeatable summer venue for chamber concerts.
