Angela Hewitt is one of the most respected pianists in the classical music genre. She boasts a sweeping repertoire that covers works from every tradition and century. However, she is best known for the tireless work she has done promoting the music of Johann Sebastian Bach.

Ms. Hewitt began her piano studies age three in Ottawa, performed in public at four and a year later won her first scholarship. She studied at Toronto’s Royal Conservatory, after which she completed her Bachelor of Music in Performance at the University of Ottawa. She was a prizewinner in numerous piano competitions in Europe, Canada, and the USA, but it was her triumph in the 1985 Toronto International Bach Piano Competition, held in memory of Glenn Gould, that truly launched her international career. The GRAMMY Award-winning  pianist’s  performances and recordings of Bach have established her as one of the composer's foremost interpreters. 

Angela offered a Masterclass at LAMP in 2022, which was popular with both the resident artists lucky enough to perform for her, and a full-house audience.
