GOING FOR GOLD
Experience this great pianist’s monumental and mesmerizing interpretation of J.S. Bach’s iconic Goldberg Variations. Originally written for harpsichord, they were first published in 1741 and are named after Johann Gottlieb Goldberg, who may have been the first performer of the work.
Going for Gold is a benefit concert; Sir András’s performance will help the VRS set the stage for its next big milestone… our 50th Anniversary Season in 2030. VRS patrons are individually sponsoring variations and we’re deeply grateful for all the wonderful support. We’ve waited years and years for Sir András to perform ‘the Goldbergs’ on our stage. Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
