The language of Bach is often described as being ‘universal’. In this performance it finds a new cultural context as movements from the Goldberg Variations are interspersed with improvisations by Lassana Diabaté on the balafon, a West African xylophone. Peter Sculthorpe’s Jabiru Dreaming opens the concert, whose music David Harrington describes as central to defining his vision for new musical horizons.
