Hailed as “one of the reliably mesmerising musicians of the day,” pianist Angela Hewitt offers a program spanning centuries of contrapuntal invention.
From the radiant depths of Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier to the bold modernism of Shostakovich and Barber, she explores the evolution of the prelude-and-fugue form across time and style.
The journey culminates in Brahms’s monumental Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel — a towering tribute to the past, reimagined through Romantic brilliance.
