Pianist plays two recitals with a broken foot

We reported midweek that Angela Hewitt took a tumble shortly before a recital in Oxford and hurt her ankle so badly she could not stand.

So she set out for the venue in a wheelchair and gave the performance as scheduled.

Two nights later, on Friday, she played the Wigmore Hall.

Only then did she go for a full medical assessment, which revealed a broken bone in her foot.

It may be a while before she’s back on the dance floor, but hats off to her courage in not cancelling.
