Goldberg Variations – Angela Hewitt

Presented by Early Music Vancouver

One of the world’s leading pianists, Angela Hewitt regularly appears in recital and with major orchestras throughout Europe, the Americas and Asia. Her performances and recordings of Bach have drawn particular praise, marking her out as one of the composer’s foremost interpreters of our time. Join EMV for a continuation of our Goldberg Experience and for another perspective on Bach’s iconic work played by a national treasure.

“It was a positive sensation. The Canadian pianist is one of the reliably mesmerising musicians of the day. You sit entranced… it would have been more accurate to say I was floating just below the ceiling.” – The Sunday Times
