"I can't tell the Goldberg Variations without being involved with all my senses"
Pianist Sophia Weidemann has been enchanted by Bach's Goldberg Variations since her early youth. However, many years passed between her first contact with the work and her own interpretation. On September 5, 2025, the album BACH-GOLDBERG will now be released, on which she publishes the 30 variations and thus one of the most extensive works of this genre. Recorded in the Jesus-Christus-Kirche Berlin, she devotes herself to Bach's world-famous work. The music has something very personal for Sophia Weidemann and she cannot relate to it without being involved with all her senses. Within the variations, Bach makes the entire cosmos of baroque musical art audible and tangible, revealing his boundless inventiveness and the possibilities of variation.
On 20.09.2025 Sophia Weidemann invites you to a release concert at the C. Bechstein Centrum Leipzig. A musical journey through 30 character pieces, framed by the aria at the beginning and end.

Born in Filderstadt in 1994, pianist Sophia Weidemann began her musical training on the piano at the age of ten. Just five years later, she became a junior student at the State University of Music and Performing Arts Stuttgart (HMDK) in Florian Wiek's class. Trained at the HDMK, the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna and the Latvian Music Academy Jazeps Vitols in Riga, she completed her bachelor's and master's degrees with top marks. In 2020, she was admitted to the concert exam, a postgraduate course that serves to train highly talented students and in which she was supervised by Péter Nagy and Florian Wiek.
