KENNETH WEISS: J.S. BACH’S CLAVIER UBUNG I | THE SIX PARTITAS

About this event

Distinguished harpsichordist KENNETH WEISS performs the Six Partitas for Keyboard, BWV 825-830, to open our Festival. The works are the last and most demanding of the three great keyboard collections that Bach wrote between 1713 and1730/31, including the so-called English and French Suites. The event follows the masterful performance of the ‘Goldberg’ Variations for BBS last season. Kenneth Weiss is Professor of Chamber Music at the Paris Conservatory, a frequent performer with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and principal harpsichordist for BBS’s flagship Bach at New Year’s concert series.
