Early Music Vancouver has just announced that its electrifying 55th season will launch with the presentation of J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations in concert on September 20 at 7:30 pm at the Christ Church Cathedral.

An iconic monument in Western music, the Goldberg Variations have delighted and intrigued listeners for centuries and demonstrate Bach’s technical development, virtuosic finesse, and compositional sophistication. They were composed through a period of personal tumult for Bach, including two unsuccessful job applications, the premature death of his son, and criticism of his music in a prominent Hamburg publication.

The Pacific Baroque Orchestra will be led by its music director Alexander Weimann for this performance. The pianist has woven Johann Gottlieb Goldberg’s Trio Sonata No. 4 in C Major, a work long-attributed to Bach himself, into this new arrangement of the Goldberg Variations for chamber orchestra.

Tickets and more details are available through Early Music Vancouver.
