Peter Hewitt<\/strong>\u00a0devotes his music making to solo piano playing, chamber music and Lieder. Over the last 30 years he has built up many long term musical partnerships and has given over a thousand concerts playing an average of 60 concerts each season. His recital work regularly takes him all around the UK, America & the Middle East.<\/p>\n

Peter has devoted a large proportion of his concert playing work to giving charity fund raising concerts. In the lockdown Peter devised and recorded a \u201cBeethoven Bitesize\u201d project, available on YouTube, where he talked about and then played single movements from the Beethoven piano sonatas.<\/p>\n

Peter\u2019s repertoire encompasses mainstream works from Bach to Prokofieff but he also maintains a healthy interest in the works of contemporary composers and has given many world premiere performances.\u00a0 He has recorded for BBC Radio and Television, broadcast on Radio 3, Classic FM, Australian Broadcasting Company and New Zealand Radio and also made critically acclaimed commercial recordings for\u00a0LITmus<\/i>,\u00a0Tremula<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0Meridian<\/i>.<\/p>\n
