Name: Sarah Hagen: Bach's Goldberg Variations
Start: 2025-11-15T15:00:00-04:00
Location: 22 Pleasant St., Chester, NS, Canada, Nova Scotia B0J 1J0

Acclaimed Canadian pianist Sarah Hagen invites you to join her for an unforgettable afternoon featuring one of the most iconic works in the classical repertoire, J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations, performed in full.
Cherished by many, the Goldberg Variations are emblematic of keyboard virtuosity, rich expression, and hardcore classical interpretation. Sarah will offer a short introduction to this marvellous and intense piece before playing the full work.
Recognized for her inventive and deeply expressive performances, Hagen has toured extensively across Canada and Europe, with appearances at Carnegie Hall and some of the world’s most prestigious stages. Her artistry blends technical precision with emotional depth, and her concerts are known for their elegance, and creative vision.
Join us for a talkback with Sarah after the concert.
