A gig held at Bristol Beacon on Tuesday 18th March. The event starts at 20:00.

Dance like Nobody’s Watching transports you back to Vienna, 1918, where composer Arnold Schönberg founded the ‘Society for Private Musical Performance’ – an underground club for rebels, misfits and adventurers where Schönberg could indulge his love of popular music.
This was a space free from judgement. Critics, celebrity musicians, and establishment types were shunned, and no programmes were released in advance. Free from inhibition, Schönberg and his friends could focus on the music and the music alone. The Society rehearsed and performed at a ferocious pace, reverberating the leftfield utopia they’d created with the sound of stripped-back Viennese waltzes.
These elaborate classics were normally performed exclusively for the wealthy and the entitled, but in Schönberg’s alternate reality they were reclaimed to be enjoyed in their purest form – by and for lovers of music. In Dance Like Nobody’s Watching we invite you into Schönberg’s inner circle to experience these era-defining orchestral reductions performed with a vigour as never before.
