Angela Hewitt brings monumental piano program to Hodgson Concert Hall

The UGA Performing Arts Center continues its 30th anniversary season with the return of world-renowned pianist Angela Hewitt on Oct. 26 at 3 p.m. at Hodgson Concert Hall.

An artist acclaimed for her luminous sound and profound interpretations, Hewitt will perform a program that traverses centuries of contrapuntal mastery, from Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Well-Tempered Clavier” to Brahms’ monumental Handel Variations.

Hewitt first performed in Hodgson Concert Hall in 1996, during the inaugural week celebration of the new Performing Arts Center, School of Music and Georgia Museum of Art. She was the soloist with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in Robert Schumann’s piano concerto.

She has long been regarded as one of the world’s foremost Bach interpreters, a reputation cemented by her award-winning recordings and her historic Bach Odyssey project, in which she performed the composer’s complete keyboard works across four continents. Her UGA program reflects that devotion, following preludes and fugues from Bach’s “Well-Tempered Clavier” with later fugues by Mendelssohn, Shostakovich and Barber, culminating in Brahms’ towering Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel, Op. 24.

Join the audience for a free pre-performance talk Assistant Professor Emely Phelps in Ramsey Concert Hall from 2:15-2:45 p.m.

This performance is supported by Patricia and Daniel Minkler and Murray and Doris Tillman.
