Returning to Music Toronto for a third appearance, British pianist Danny Driver brings his exceptional artistry to a program of waltzes and variations spanning three centuries.

George Frideric Handel's elegant Suite No. 5, Maurice Ravel's shimmering Valses nobles et sentimentales, and Morton Feldman's spare Variations lead to the evening's centerpiece, Ludwig van Beethoven's monumental Diabelli Variations.

Rarely heard in concert, this astonishing cycle of 33 variations transforms a simple waltz into an imaginative and profound work in the piano repertoire, offering a special experience in a Beethoven anniversary year.
