Composer Series: J.S. Bach: Goldberg Variations Featuring John Orfe

Join us for the Saint Louis recital review of Alarm Will Sound’s pianist, John Orfe. Orfe will perform Johann Sebastian Bach’s monumental Goldberg Variations. Enjoy Bach’s magnificent masterwork on a modern baby grand piano, with 30 encyclopedic transformations of one of Classical music’s greatest melodies—a feast for the mind and the ear.

John Orfe’s music has been performed worldwide. As a piano soloist and collaborative artist, Orfe has earned critical acclaim for his interpretations of five centuries of keyboard repertoire ranging from the canonic to the arcane. As the core pianist and a founding member of critically-acclaimed new music ensemble Alarm Will Sound, he has performed in Carnegie Hall, Disney Hall, and music series and festivals across the United States, Europe, and Asia, including Beijing, Nanning, Seoul, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Amsterdam, Berlin, Bremen, Bolzano, Cork, Hamburg, London, and Krakow.
