Free Goldberg Variations at RISD Museum (9/19 & 9/20)

On Saturday, September 19 and Sunday, September 20, Ben Nacar, pianist and Brown University student, is offering free performances of J. S. Bach's Goldberg Variations (all thirty of them!) in the Main Gallery of the RISD Museum. The performances begin at 2 pm on both days, and you need only to inform the Museum staff that you are there to attend the concert to have your Museum admission waived.

The occasion? Commemorating Glenn Gould's birthday (September 25, 1932). See a video clip of Glenn Gould playing the Aria from the Goldberg Variations here.
