Programme Note
After many years of collaboration, including our flagship production Goldberg Variations – ternary patterns for insomnia, which saw its 50th performance in 2023, we are returning to stages across Scotland with choreographer Örjan Andersson. In a ground-breaking new take on the classical concert, Impulse: Music in Motion presents two iconic works of string repertoire in a unique, personal, and deeply human performance. Playing from memory, our musicians are set free to move as they play. In a combination of improvised and choreographed movements, this performance will present a striking visual representation of the music’s patterns, intricacies and emotion. From the wild freedom of Tchaikovsky to the mechanical drive of Shostakovich, a gripping kinetic energy will take hold.
