Experience Angela Hewitt live on May 6th

Angela Hewitt will perform at the Perelman Theater in Philadelphia on May 6, 2027. Hewitt is a Canadian pianist internationally renowned for her interpretations of Bach, often described as possessing clarity, precision, and a deeply musical understanding of the composer’s structures. Her repertoire extends beyond Bach to include Scarlatti, Mozart, Chopin, and contemporary composers, though she maintains a particular affinity for the Baroque period. She is known for using a Fazioli piano, frequently praising its responsiveness and tonal qualities.

The Perelman Theater, located within the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts in Philadelphia, opened in 2003. Originally named the Philadelphia Opera Company Theater, it was renamed in 2016 to honor Raymond G. and Shelly Perelman for their philanthropic support. The theater is designed specifically for acoustic excellence and hosts a variety of performances including opera, dance, theater and orchestral concerts. It seats approximately 1,200 people and features a horseshoe-shaped design intended to maximize intimacy between performers and audience members. The venue's acoustics are consistently praised by musicians performing there due to its carefully engineered sound reflection properties.
