Pianiste de renommée internationale, Angela Hewitt est considérée comme une interprète d’exception de la musique de J.S. Bach. De 1994 à 2005, elle a enregistré l’intégrale de l’œuvre pour clavier de ce compositeur, enregistrements qui ont été récompensés à plusieurs reprises par le Prix Juno. Angela Hewitt a également enregistré l’intégrale des sonates pour piano de Beethoven, ainsi que des œuvres de Schumann. Son vaste répertoire, allant du baroque au XXIe siècle, comprend des œuvres de musique française – dont celles de Ravel qu’elle a donné intégralement en concert – tout comme des œuvres de compositeurs canadiens contemporains. Angela Hewitt donne des récitals en solo et en musique de chambre, tout en se produisant avec des orchestres de renom à travers le monde. Lauréate de divers concours internationaux, elle est également récipiendaire de plusieurs prix et distinctions honorifiques dont l’Order of the British Empire (2006). Elle est membre de la Société royale du Canada et a été nommée compagnon de l’Ordre du Canada en 2015. 9e récital au LMMC.


Angela Hewitt indisputably ranks at the very top of the list of Canadian musicians known worldwide, a phenomenal artist who has established herself as the preeminent Bach pianist of our time. In 1985 she won the Toronto International Bach Piano Competition, and has been a top prizewinner at major competitions in Leipzig, Milan, Zwickau, Cleveland and Washington D.C. In 2005, Hewitt completed an eleven-year project to record all the major keyboard works of Bach on the Hyperion label, which has been described as “one of the record glories of our age”
(The Sunday Times). Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann and Ravel also figure prominently in her repertory, but she has also delved into the music of such relatively ignored masters as Rameau, Couperin, Granados and Chabrier. In addition to tours on four continents, her frequent Wigmore Hall and Royal Festival Hall recitals in London sell out months in advance. In 2000 Hewitt was made an Officer of the Order of Canada, and in 2015 she was promoted to Companion. She is also a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, and in 2006 was awarded an OBE. Beginning in 2016, Hewitt embarked on a Bach Odyssey, in which she will perform all the major keyboard works of this composer.

About Author

Founded in 1892 by a group of women amateur musicians, the LMMC embarks on its 125th season of uninterrupted musical activity. Originally all concerts were given by active members with the occasional assistance of local professionals. In 1895 the Club brought to Montreal the Belgian violinist Eugène Ysaÿe, whose recital was such a success that the Ladies increasingly engaged international artists. Horowitz, Serkin, Rubinstein, Heifetz, Milstein, Stern, Rampal, Piatigorsky, Tortelier, Yo-Yo Ma, Lehmann, Ferrier, Souzay, the Budapest, Amadeus, Juilliard Quartets, the Beaux Arts Trio, are but a sampling of those who have performed and, in many cases, made their Montreal debuts at the Club. The long list of Canadian artists includes Saucier, Chamberland, Forrester, Alarie, Donalda, Simoneau, Gould, Turini, the Orford Quartet. The LMMC is a non-profit organization, managed by a volunteer committee. Admission is open to all on a subscription or single-ticket basis.
