About this event

Grammy Award-winning pianist Sir Andr谩s Schiff is a titan of the keyboard, bringing his distinctive blend of clarity and authority to repertoire from Bach to Bart贸k. Tonight he continues his long association with Bach鈥檚 music in a performance of the composer鈥檚 鈥楪oldberg鈥� Variations 鈥� a monumental work composed, according to its title-page, 鈥榝or the refreshment of the spirits鈥�. The resulting Aria and variations are a compositional wonder, a sequence of musical miniatures unequalled in all Bach鈥檚 output.
