Pushing Boundaries - In Resonance: J.S. Bach's Toccatas
and Franz Schubert's last Three Sonatas over a year
Following her performances of Bach’s complete Clavier-Übung over a year, pianist Hélène Papadopoulos returns to An die Musik Live with a new concert series: Pushing Boundaries - In Resonance.
This time, she brings together two remarkable collections of keyboard works: J.S. Bach’s Toccatas and Franz Schubert’s last three sonatas. Though separated by more than a century, these compositions represent pivotal moments in the evolution of keyboard music, each expanding the possibilities of their instrument and pushing the boundaries of form, style, and expression.

Hélène Papadopoulos is a pianist celebrated for her intricate and sensitive interpretations, particularly of J.S. Bach's music, and possesses a transversal vision of music creation and performance. With advanced degrees in piano, harpsichord, cello, and chamber music from the Conservatoire National de Région de Strasbourg and the École Normale de Musique in Paris, as well as a PhD in computational musicology from IRCAM / Paris Sorbonne University, she performs both as a soloist and chamber musician across Europe and North America.
Hélène’s all-Bach concert series has received widespread acclaim, captivating audiences with its profound exploration of Bach’s spiritual and emotional dimensions. Her unique ability to blend tradition with modernity — whether through her profound interpretations of iconic works like the Goldberg Variations or by commissioning living composers to create dialogues between Bach’s music and the contemporary world — offers an experience that is both timeless and deeply relevant to today’s world. She is presenting the complete Clavier-Übung (keyboard Partitas, Italian Concerto, French Overture, Four Duets, and Goldberg Variations) and the entire Sonatas for Keyboard and Violin BWV 1014-1019 this season. Recent distinctions for her musical artistry include the Culture Moves Europe grant and the Scheide grant from the American Bach Society.
Engaging in scholarly research to refine her artistry, she has published a commented edition of Euler’s complete works on music theory. She serves as the artistic director of the music Festival aux Chandelles in Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, France, where she redefines classical programming shedding light on the artistic research that shapes each performance. Supported by the Bach-Archiv Leipzig, she is currently in an artist residency at CNMAT, University of California, Berkeley, delving into the legacy of American keyboardist Rosalyn Tureck for 21st-century Bach performance.
