Angela Hewitt is one of the most respected pianists of the classical music genre. She boasts a sweeping repertoire that covers works from every tradition and century. However, Hewitt is best known for the tireless work she has done promoting the music of Johann Sebastian Bach.

For this extraordinary Halifax performance, the Grammy Award-winning pianist, whose performances and recordings of Bach have established her as one of the composer’s foremost interpreters, performs one of the master’s most daunting and most beloved keyboard works, the Goldberg Variations. This set of thirty intricate and dazzling variations, plus a widely known Aria, is a showcase for all the hallmarks of Bach’s greatness.

“There are only a few works in piano literature,” says Hewitt, “which have the power to elevate us to such sublime grounds” – and Hewitt is an undisputed master interpreter of these works.
