Canadian pianist Angela Hewitt is one of the world’s most distinguished pianists, best known for her JS Bach interpretations. Angela’s recital features Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s charming take on the French folk song Ah, vous dirai-je Maman, which went on to be used for many-a children’s song such as Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star and Baa, Baa, Black Sheep. Robert Schumann’s first piano sonata, inspired by his beloved Clara, closes the evening.

‘Hewitt’s playing radiates joy, wit and profound understanding of the composer’s keyboard style.’ The Sunday Times
