One of the world’s best-known pianists, Angela Hewitt appears regularly in recitals and with leading orchestras in Europe, the Americas, Australia and Asia. She was inducted into the Gramophone Hall of Fame in 2015 and her performances and recordings of the works of J.S. Bach (at the center of the repertoire of this appointment) have always obtained particular recognition, signaling her as one of the composer’s reference interpreters today. Born into a musical family, Angela Hewitt began piano lessons at the age of three, performing in public at four and winning her first scholarship a year later. He then went on to study with the French pianist Jean-Paul Sevilla. In 1985 he won the Toronto Bach Piano Competition. Angela Hewitt was awarded an OBE (Order of the British Empire) in celebration of the Queen’s Birthday in 2006 and was made a Companion of the Order of Canada (CC) in 2015. Constantly travelling, she lives between London, Ottawa ( his hometown in Canada) and Umbria, a region of Italy that he particularly loves and where he has been the artistic director of the Trasimeno Music Festival for ten years.
