Grammy® Award winner and sought-after violinist Augustin Hadelich makes his San Francisco Performances debut at the peak of an impressive international career. According to Bachtrack, he “is most definitely the man of the moment and is quite rightly earning a reputation as one of the finest violinists on the circuit.” The Times of London called Francesco Piemontesi’s artistry, “playful, assertive, intelligent music making, with bone-china clarity.”

Augustin Hadelich and Francesco Piemontesi (The Shenson Great Artists & Ensembles Series/Herbst)

War Memorial and Performing Arts Center

He is one of the grand seigneurs of the organ world: Bernard Foccroulle. As the long-time artistic director of Brussels' La Monnaie Opera House until 2007, he also worked in the opera world, but his original profession was and remains that of an organist. As such, he has earned an outstanding reputation as an expert in both early and contemporary music.

At the programme’s centre stand two monumental passacaglias: Bach’s famous Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor and the powerful Passacaille by Swiss composer Frank Martin (no relation to our soloist!) Written nearly two centuries later, Martin’s work refracts Bach’s great work through a twentieth-century harmonic language.
