For this special concert we welcome back Royal Philharmonic Society Instrumental award winner and BBC Proms soloist cellist Laura Van der Heijden to join acclaimed violist Helene Clement, and St Leonards Concerts host Max Baillie.

Originally written for keyboard to cure a nobleman’s insomnia, J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations stands as a pinnacle of musical genius. This performance features the brilliant transcription by Dmitry Sitkovetsky, transforming the solo keyboard work into an intimate, vibrant dialogue for violin, viola, and cello.

By giving each instrument a distinct voice, this arrangement breathes fresh life into Bach’s 30 breathtaking variations. From the serene opening Aria to the exhilarating final notes, discover the emotional depth and technical brilliance of a timeless classic, reborn.
