Charles Owen plays Bach’s Goldberg Variations
Friday 09 May 2025
7:00 pm - 8:15 pm
A beautiful mind: pianist Charles Owen explores the mysteries and miracles of Bach’s Goldberg Variations.
A technical exercise? A cure for insomnia? Or nothing less than a musical attempt to give order to the Cosmos? Myths and mysteries orbit around Bach’s Goldberg Variations, but the reality is even more fascinating. A simple, haunting melody unlocks a chain of 30 musical puzzles; brilliant, intricate and timeless. “As exciting as it gets” is how one critic described Charles Owen’s approach to Bach: and tonight, in the 18th century surroundings of St Martin-in-the-Fields, this superb British pianist brings all his artistry and insight to music that contains absolute beauty and infinite possibilities. This should be very special indeed.
This concert lasts 75 minutes with no interval.
