On the Road Again

Pianist Angela Hewitt just got back from a 14-month all-Bach world tour. She travelled to 25 countries in that time, and performed for thousands. She took a little time off the tour to play concerts in London, including more Bach. Not one to rest for long, Hewitt is already back on the road again, playing an all-Beethoven concert in Italy.
