Pianist Simone Dinnerstein and Boston’s self-conducted chamber orchestra A Far Cry are in residence at TLI for four days to develop and rehearse their reimagining of Bach's iconic keyboard masterpiece, The Goldberg Variations, as a living dialogue for piano and string orchestra. Created by Criers Alex Fortes and Sarah Darling with Dinnerstein, who is famous for her solo recording of the work, the collaboration explores each variation and the worlds within to reveal new facets of The Goldbergs' renowned mathematical structures, stylistic synergies, and emotional journey. The residency comes in anticipation of Dinnerstein and A Far Cry's recording together of The Goldberg Variations, in Fall 2026. In this Open Workshop, you are invited behind the scenes to observe the artists' process. Afterward, you will have the opportunity to ask questions of the artists during a Q&A session.
