Charles Owen, Goldberg Variations

March 1 & 2, 2022 6:30 PM

One-hour concert followed by three-course dinner. Doors open at 6:30pm for a 7pm concert.

For those who have never had an experience of Bach, the Goldberg variations represent the best gateway to the world of the greatest of all masters. The Goldberg Variations are a journey through thirty different takes on a simple and endearing French Aria which, originally conceived to tackle the insomnia of Count Kaiserling through the apt hands of Johann Gottlieb Goldberg, who lived in the antechamber to the Count, has become one of the milestone of keyboard repertoire. Charles Owen, one of the finest British pianists of his generation, will guide you through this unforgettable experience. Your evening will be completed with a menu with Saxon influences.
