Kit Armstrong, a 33-year-old musician, showcased his diverse talents at Chamber Music Northwest's summer festival, performing on various instruments, including the harpsichord and Steinway piano. His performances included the challenging "Complete Brandenburg Concertos" by J.S. Bach and the 30 Goldberg Variations, all played without sheet music. Audiences were captivated by his breathless speed and unpredictable improvisations, notably his Debussy-influenced encore. He performed five days in a row, receiving enthusiastic applause, particularly during pieces he played alongside other distinguished musicians, exhibiting a rare blend of technical skill and artistic expression.
Armstrong, slightly built with wire-rimmed glasses, performed pieces on several instruments at Chamber Music Northwest's summer festival, displaying a mixture of speed and depth during improvisations.
During the opening night at Reed College's Kaul Auditorium, Armstrong played hauntingly through J.S. Bach's two-part "Complete Brandenburg Concertos," receiving applause before the piece concluded.
