Artistic Director: Trasimeno Music Festival
In September 2016, Angela began her ‘Bach Odyssey’, performing the complete keyboard works of Bach in a series of twelve recitals, finishing in June 2020. In 2018 she performs the complete Well-Tempered Clavier in London, Tokyo, Ottawa, New York, Hong Kong, Amsterdam, Vancouver/Victoria, and Stratford (Ontario). Other recitals will take her to Lisbon, Prague, Rotterdam, London’s Royal Festival Hall, Girona, Minneapolis, Ferrara, Bari, Perugia, Portland (Oregon), Cleveland, Bern and Newcastle.
Orchestral highlights include her recent BBC Proms appearance with Messiaen’s Turangalîla (BBC Symphony Orchestra/Oramo), a UK tour with the Tonkünstler-Orchester Niederösterreich (Beethoven’s “Emperor” Concerto), her debut in Vienna’s Musikverein conducting Bach Concertos with the same Orchestra, the Cartagena Festival in Colombia, and performances in Chicago (Music of the Baroque with Jane Glover) and with the Xi’an Symphony in China. She will also appear in residency at Harvard University.
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 seventh volume of Beethoven Sonatas was released in June 2018; other recent releases include a second album of Scarlatti Sonatas and a new recording of Bach’s Goldberg Variations.
