SF Chamber Orchestra: Bach’s Goldberg Variations | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Benjamin Simon will conduct the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra in a string arrangement of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Goldberg Variations.

These variations — one of Bach’s crowning achievements — are a set of thirty-two short pieces that range from thirty seconds to several minutes in length. Together, they offer a comprehensive, almost encyclopedic view of Bach’s musical world.

The concert begins with a talk by Music Director Ben Simon, who will explain the work’s fascinating architecture and unlock its secrets with live musical examples.

Admission is free, but tickets are required for non-members. Reserve online, or call 415.692.5258 to make your reservation by phone. Doors open to the public 45 minutes before concert time.
