Pianist Peter Hewitt performing opening recital of 2025 with Beethoven works at St Mary Church in Brancaster as part of Music in the Burnhams

A pianist is set to perform Beethoven’s works in a village church next month bringing an evening of entertainment.

Peter Hewitt will be coming to St Mary Church in Brancaster on Saturday, April 26 at 7.30pm as part of Music in the Burnhams.

He is a big fan of Beethoven, with the recital including four of the composer’s most famous sonatas: Pathétique, Tempest, Moonlight, and Appassionata.

Two famous international pianists have praised Hewitt’s work.

Vladimir Ashkenazy said: “I like very much Hewitt's devotion to the music and his attention to detail. He is very musical and the Largo of Op 10 No 3 touched me."

John Lill added: “I am very impressed with this splendid CD. It is outstanding playing from a masterful musician which does full justice to these great works. This playing deserves a wide public."

Organisers have said that this opening recital of 2025 is not to be missed. The evening will be split into two 40-minute parts, with a 20-minute interval.

Tickets are £20 each and those under the age of 18 can attend for free.

They can be purchased on Music in the Burnhams website.
