7:30pm: Angela Hewitt, piano

Legendary pianist Angela Hewitt, a Gramophone Magazine Hall of Famer, opens the Festival with J.S. Bach's Goldberg Variations, BWV 988. Renowned for her exceptional artistry, Hewitt is celebrated as one of the finest interpreters of Bach, praised by BBC Music Magazine for her "subtlety, beauty of tone and instrumental command."

ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Angela Hewitt occupies a unique position among today's leading pianists. With a wide-ranging repertoire and frequent appearances in recital and with major orchestras throughout Europe, Americas and Asia, she is also an award-winning recording artist whose performances of Bach have established her as one of that composer's foremost interpreters. In 2020 she received the City of Leipzig Bach Medal: a huge honor that for the first time in its 17-year history was awarded to a woman. Hewitt's Bach Odyssey cycle (2016–22), in which she performed the complete keyboard works of Bach across 12 recitals worldwide, was highly acclaimed.
