Angela Hewitt Performs The Art of Fugue in her 92Y Solo Recital Debut
Wednesday, October 28, 2015 at 7:30pm Angela Hewitt, whose musicianship was described by The New York Times as "an instant link from head and heart to fingertips," is one of the world's foremost performers and interpreters of Bach's keyboard works. In 2012/13, after performing Bach’s The Art of Fugue in its entirety at the Royal Festival Hall in London as part of the International Piano Series, Ms. Hewitt began a project to perform this monumental work over the course of two programs in major halls across the globe. She brings this project to 92Y, performing The Art of Fugue in its entirety in just one evening. "The pianist’s eloquent exposition of The Art of Fugue, the result of a lifetime’s immersion in Bach’s music, could hardly be bettered." –The Financial Times Angela Hewitt, piano (92Y solo recital debut) BACH The Art of Fugue, BWV 1080 Tickets from $35 |
