Jack Gonzalez-Harding describes Johann Sebastian Bach’s Goldberg Variations as an ode to silence. Composed in 1741, nine years before the composer’s death, the variations demonstrate Bach’s unique ability to enable the harpsichord as a solo instrument to create music both of great triumphant joy as well as profound intimacy. The Goldberg Variations. Music of childlike sensitivity for you to simply dwell in as you please.

This concert is the final performance both of Sands Films’ Musical Offering Series and of Gonzalez-Harding’s 2024 Goldberg Variations tour. For this concert, Jack performs on one of the finest instruments in the United Kingdom, Simon Neal’s 2010 Hill/Taskin (1769).
