Goldberg Variations

Works from the third part of the Clavier-Übungwill be performed for the final concert that concludes this cycle of Bach’s lesser-known pieces.

The performer each time faces a worthy challenge: to allow the thousands of facets of this score to shine all the while making audible the powerful structure that governs the whole … Come celebrate with Bach the extraordinary unity of diversity !
