What is the role of the artist, and specifically the musician, in these tumultuous times of the present world? Music is one of the most powerful tools to penetrate the distorted human mind and reach the soul of each one of us. I hold this belief deeply.
One of the composers who reaches the core of being most directly is Johann Sebastian Bach. For this reason, I feel it is vital at this moment to interpret and enjoy this transformative and cosmic music.
As Thoreau said, 'most men lead lives of quiet desperation,' and perhaps we are not aware of how necessary art is to break that feeling of emptiness and lack of meaning. We have forgotten how music and the arts in general can restore our inspiration to enjoy this human journey once again.
This is what Bach brings us through his Goldberg Variations: a flash of lucidity that, like a beacon, guides us to transform our human experience into a process of evolution and joy.
This performance combines the musical depth of J. S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations with an intertwining dancelike projection, in a harmonic, auditory, and visual synthesis.
Bach’s work immerses us in the fascinating cycles of life; his sound leads us through an ascending spiral that goes from the most human to the most divine.
The visual elements present this journey in a 21st century language, creating an experience transcending time and space.
