Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra’s Westside Chamber Series features a musical twist with Bach’s “Goldberg Variations for String Orchestra,” led by Concertmaster Margaret Batjer, on Saturday, March 12, at 8 p.m. at the Broad Stage in Santa Monica.

Bach’s monumental work, published in 1741 and comprised of 30 variations originally written for solo keyboard, gained prominence in the 20th century with pianist Glenn Gould’s famed 1955 recording, and violinist Dmitry Sitkovetsky’s 1984 arrangement for strings, the version LACO is presenting. Dedicated to Gould, the performance honors Bach’s seminal work note-for-note, while imbuing it with a fresh new musical perspective.

Tickets are $58. The Broad Stage is located at 1310 11th St., Santa Monica. For information and tickets, call (213)622 7001 ext. 1, and visit laco.org.
