Step into a musical time warp as acclaimed pianist Cristian Sandrin presents Bach's monumental Goldberg Variations with an unprecedented twist.

Read more about the inspiration behind this concert here.

In this innovative performance, the beloved baroque masterpiece receives a contemporary reimagining through three specially commissioned variations by up-and-coming composers Louise Drewett, Philip Dutton, and Farhad Poupel. This fresh perspective will allow the audience to experience Bach in an entirely new light.

Seamlessly woven into Bach’s original thirty variations, these modern additions create fascinating dialogues between the music of the past and the music of today. They transform the Goldbergs into a springboard to engage with the new musical styles being composed today.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to hear Bach’s monumental work for the keyboard and three centuries of musical evolution converge in a single, unforgettable performance.
