about me

Anthony Hewitt has established a reputation as a pianist of formidable interpretative and technical ability. Highlights of orchestral engagements include the RPO in London, National Symphony Orchestra and Princeton Symphony in the USA, as well as the Northern Chamber Orchestra and Sinfonia Viva in the UK.

He has given four recitals at Wigmore Hall, appeared across the USA including at Carnegie Weill Recital Hall, toured South America and Japan, and  performed chamber music at high-profile festivals in Europe including at the Chelsea and Chichester Festivals, Bastad in Sweden,  Orpheus and Bacchus and Sanary in France, and Mecklenburg in Germany. Duo partners have included Emma Johnson, Martin Roscoe, Sarah-Jane Bradley, Chloe Hanslip, Thomas Carroll, and Narimichi Kawabata with whom he has toured major concert halls in the Far East.     

His discography includes 'Protégé' (Divine Art Records) which is the first coupling on CD of the Liszt and Reubke Sonatas. It has been met with much critical acclaim including International Record Review which described it as "magisterial".  

Future plans include a recording of the complete piano works of Robert Schumann, performances in South Africa, Poland, Sweden and Japan, and a Wigmore series concert.

In 2012 he is undertaking a special project in-line with the Olympics to bring music to rural areas of the UK when he will cycle from Land's End to John O'Groats and give a concert at the end of each day. Based in London, he is also the founding Artistic Director of the Ulverston International Music Festival.
