BACH-ROBERTSON: Goldberg Variations for Piano and String Quartet

Bach’s serene Goldberg Variations has been described as both a beautiful keyboard work and a “Rubik’s Cube of invention and architecture.” There are over 300 recordings of the work, many in unusual arrangements. Conductor David Robertson’s striking arrangement for string quartet and piano receives its world premiere at this performance! Enjoy coffee, tea and pastries in the intimate coffee-house atmosphere of the Samueli Theater.

There is no Preview Talk before this performance. Orli Shaham will introduce the music from the stage. Doors open at 2 p.m.
