Aug 23 | THE GOLDBERG VARIATIONS | BACH THEN AND NOW – BIGLAKE Arts
Nearly everyone has heard about Bach’s Goldberg Variations. In Canada it carries a particular importance - Glenn Gould’s defining recordings. But have you heard it on the harpsichord, the instrument Bach actually composed it for? The legend goes that Count Hermann Karl von Keyserlinck asked Bach for some pleasant music to cheer him up during his sleepless nights, to be played in his by Keyserlinck’s resident harpsichord prodigy Johann Gottlieb Goldberg. Travel back in time to 1741 with keyboardist Ilya Poletaev, first prize winner of the prestigious International Bach Competition in Leipzig and experience this masterpiece on both the harpsichord and the modern piano. Be sure not to miss this very rare experience!

They arrive in Canada for the very first time to perform three of the most beloved works in the string quartet repertoire. Barber’s achingly beautiful Adagio, Dvořák’s joyful and melodically irresistible American Quartet, and Schubert’s haunting and magnificent Death and the Maiden - one of the greatest works written for string quartet.

Aug 25 | A MUSICAL FRIENDSHIP | SCHUMANN AND BRAHMS – BIGLAKE Arts
Aug 25 | A MUSICAL FRIENDSHIP | SCHUMANN AND BRAHMS – BIGLAKE Arts
Schumann was the established master: composer, pianist, critic, and champion of new music. Brahms was the brilliant, passionate newcomer who would go on to become one of the towering figures of the Romantic era. Their bond shaped both men and left an indelible mark on the music they wrote. Ensemble Made In Canada — one of the country’s most beloved and acclaimed chamber ensembles — celebrates this extraordinary friendship with an evening of short gems for each instrument, followed by Brahms’s magnificent Piano Quartet No. 2, a work of soaring lyricism, elegance, and optimism that Brahms himself premiered in 1862. This is Romantic music at its most human and most beautiful.
