  1. Bourrée I, from Suite for cello No 3 in C - JS Bach, arranged by Roderick Williams
  2. Goldberg Variations BWV 988 - Johann Sebastian Bach, arranged for string trio by Dmitri Sitkovetsky

In their first Bach and the Cosmos concert, Oxford Mathematician James Sparks and City of London Sinfonia take the audience on a visual journey through JS Bach’s most numerical piece: the Goldberg Variations.

Through visuals, musical examples and numerical explanations, James Sparks explores how Bach uses mathematical methodologies to expand musical subjects and exhaust all permutations of every theme in his 30 Variations. As the piece transforms, different sections of the Orchestra are illuminated, highlighting Bach’s many beautiful mathematical structures and patterns.
