PIANIST Angela Hewitt - named artist of the year in the 2006 Gramophone Awards - will perform at Skipton Music's next concert on Tuesday, November 17.

Born in Canada, she has appeared in recitals throughout Europe, Asia and America and is considered one of the world's leading exponents of Bach.

She has chosen two of the composer's work for her Skipton concert - Partita No 2 in C Minor and Chromatic Fantasy - as well as pieces by Scarlatti, Liszt, Ravel and Chabrier.

The concert will take place at Skipton Town Hall at 7.30pm and will be preceded, at 6.30pm, by Skipton Music's annual general meeting.
