Angela Hewitt live in Vienna

Experience Angela Hewitt live on November 7th

Angela Hewitt, a Canadian pianist internationally renowned for her interpretations of Bach, will perform at the Musikverein in Vienna on November 7, 2026. Hewitt’s playing is characterized by clarity, precision, and a deeply considered understanding of structure, often described as both intellectually rigorous and emotionally engaging. She is particularly noted for her complete recordings of Bach’s keyboard works and frequently performs on historically informed instruments, though typically utilizes a modern concert grand. Her repertoire extends beyond Bach to include Scarlatti, Mozart, Chopin and contemporary composers.

The Musikverein, home to the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, holds significant historical and acoustic importance. Completed in 1870, it was designed by Hans von Hansmann and Eduard van der Nüll. The building’s primary performance space, the Golden Hall (Goldener Saal), is celebrated globally for its exceptional acoustics – consistently ranked among the best in the world – attributed to its rectangular shape, wooden interior construction and specific dimensions. The hall's design intentionally avoids parallel walls to minimize standing waves. Beyond orchestral performances, it regularly hosts solo recitals featuring prominent instrumentalists like Hewitt.
