Experience a rare event of profound musical mastery as acclaimed pianist Kit Armstrong—hailed as the Mozart of our era—performs Bach’s Goldberg Variations in its entirety…a feat undertaken at CMNW only twice in our 55 years! This monumental work, celebrated for its intellectual depth and intricate beauty, will be performed with unparalleled precision and artistry by one of the world’s most gifted pianists, bringing the Goldbergs to life in a way that will resonate long after the final note.

6:30pm | Kaul Auditorium Prelude Performance with our Young Artist Institute musicians

We have a special tradition of “picnics” before concerts at Reed College’s Kaul Auditorium. Reed’s catering service, Bon Appétit, offers food and drink service beginning at 6pm. Alternately, you can bring your own picnic, but alcoholic beverages must be purchased on-site.
