Wigmore Hall 125: Angela Hewitt

As part of Wigmore Hall’s 125th Anniversary Festival, Canadian pianist Angela Hewitt plays Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Haydn and Bach.

The Canadian pianist Angela Hewitt made her Wigmore Hall debut over 40 years ago, and with well over 80 performances there since then, she is a hugely popular recipient of the Wigmore Hall Gold Medal. In this celebratory concert, she turns her refined artistry to the joy and wonder of works from the heart of her repertoire, crowned with the awe-inspiring expressive shifts of Bach’s Second Partita.

Broadcast live and presented by Martin Handley.
