Pierre-Laurent Aimard, one of the world’s most respected pianists, makes a long-anticipated Celebrity Series debut with his signature intellect, expressiveness, and clarity.

“A brilliant musician and an extraordinary visionary,” according to the Wall Street Journal, Aimard is a champion of contemporary music, yet here he tackles a cornerstone of keyboard literature—Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, Book II—a work that shaped the course of Western music.

Join Aimard for an 88-key journey though the 24 keys of the preludes and fugues, where his insightful interpretation reveals the genius of Bach in thrilling new dimensions.

“To listen to Aimard in action is to feel the gears of a composition mesh in new ways. It’s to hear the urgency and beauty in music that might otherwise sound grating or remote. ”
The San Francisco Chronicle
