World-renowned pianist Angela Hewitt returns to 92Y’s stage for the final two concerts in her acclaimed — and pandemic-interrupted — four-year Bach Odyssey, performing all of the composer’s keyboard works. For this penultimate concert, Hewitt performs two of Bach’s best-known keyboard works, his monumental French Overture and the iconic Italian Concerto, homages to the musical style of each country, along with several of his small works, including the "little" preludes. To them all, Hewitt brings her signature grace, mastery and joy.
