“Hewitt’s mastery of distinct voices flowing in clear counterpoint was second to none, in a performance richly satisfying on every level.”—New York Classical Review
Angela Hewitt occupies a unique position among today’s leading concert pianists. With a wide-ranging repertoire and frequent appearances in recital and with major orchestras throughout the world, she is also an award-winning recording artist whose performances of J.S. Bach have established her as one of the composer’s foremost interpreters. Returning to Hodgson Concert Hall for the first time since the Performing Arts Center’s 1996 inaugural celebration, this special relationship will be on vivid display when she performs selections from The Well-Tempered Clavier and other treasured works.
