MacGregor is one of the world's most wide ranging and influential musicmakers. As a concert pianist she has worked with such eminent figures as Pierre Boulez, Sir Simon Rattle and Sir Colin Davis, and has premiered landmark works from Django Bates to John Adams. A restless innovator, she has continued to break down musical barriers throughout her career, including cross-genre collaborations with Brian Eno, Nitin Sawhney and, at this year's London Jazz Festival, virtuoso oud player Dhafer Youssef.

Production details
Joanna performs the music of Bach, drawing on keyboard works: a selection of Preludes and Fugues from Book 1, the French Suite no.5, parts of the Goldberg Variations and The Art of Fugue. The programme features live, improvised collaboration with conceptual artist Scanner, touching on Bach’s Chorales and Cantatas. Scanner’s works experiment between sound, space, image and form and his albums are hailed by critics as innovative and inspirational works of contemporary electronic music. He has previously collaborated with Laurie Anderson, Radiohead and Steve McQueen, among others.
