Artistic Director: Trasimeno Music Festival

In September of 2016, Hewitt began her ​“Bach Odyssey”, performing the complete keyboard works of Bach in a series of 12 recitals. The whole cycle, which culminates with ​‘The Art of Fugue’ in June 2020, is being presented in London’s Wigmore Hall, New York’s 92^nd Street Y, and in Ottawa, Tokyo and Florence. After her performances of the complete Well-Tempered Clavier at the 2019 Edinburgh Festival, the critic of the London Times wrote, “…the freshness of Hewitt’s playing made it sound as though no one had played this music before.”

Appearances in 2019/20 include recitals in Vancouver, Amsterdam, Beverley Hills, Atlanta, Oxford, Dortmund, Leipzig and Malta. She will appear as soloist with the Montreal Symphony (also performing Schubert’s Winterreise with Ian Bostridge), Aurora (London), Toronto Symphony and Helsinki Philharmonic orchestras, and conduct Bach concertos from the piano with the Orchestre Ensemble Kanazawa in Japan. Special events include an evening with author Ian McEwan at Vienna’s Konzerthaus. 

Hewitt’s award-winning recordings have garnered praise from around the world, and her ten-year project to record Bach’s major keyboard works for Hyperion has been described as ​“one of the record glories of our age” (The Sunday Times). Hewitt’s penultimate volume of Beethoven Sonatas (including the ​“Waldstein”) was released in May 2019. In December 2019 a new recording of Bach’s Six Partitas will be released.
