Lang Lang, one of the world’s leading figures in modern classical music, and star of Channel 4's The Piano, will take to the stage for an exceptional performance this autumn, as he masterfully recreates one of the greatest masterpieces of keyboard literature, Bach’s The Goldberg Variations.

The Goldberg Variations is, in the words of musicologist John Gillespie, ‘the crowning achievement of the Baroque keyboard’. On one level it is simply a beautiful piece of keyboard music; on another, its construction and inventiveness make it resemble a musical Rubik’s Cube.

As a pianist, Lang Lang went on a long and inspirational process to feel the depth and beauty of this outstanding piece of musical craftmanship from Bach.

Lang Lang plays Bach’s The Goldberg Variations on 27 October at Birmingham's Symphony Hall. Tickets are on sale here.
