Angela Hewitt live in London

Experience Angela Hewitt live on September 16th

Angela Hewitt’s performance on September 16, 2026, at Wigmore Hall will feature a program centered around the works of Johann Sebastian Bach, alongside compositions by Domenico Scarlatti and potentially other Baroque or Classical era composers – specific repertoire details are not yet publicly available as of November 2023. Hewitt is internationally renowned for her interpretations of Bach’s keyboard music, characterized by clarity, precision, and a deeply considered understanding of counterpoint. Her playing is often described as possessing both intellectual rigor and emotional depth, avoiding excessive romanticism in favor of structural integrity.

Wigmore Hall holds a significant place in London’s musical landscape. Opened in 1901, it was originally built as a private recital room for the Bechstein piano company. It quickly became established as a premier venue for chamber music and song recitals due to its exceptional acoustics – intentionally designed to be intimate and focused on the performers rather than overwhelming grandeur. Unlike larger concert halls, Wigmore Hall has remained largely unchanged since its inception, retaining its original Edwardian interior and seating capacity of approximately 544.
