Internationally renowned pianist and avid cyclist Anthony
Hewitt is the Olympianist. To celebrate the London Olympics
2012, and raise money for good causes, he is cycling the
length of Britain, from Land's End to John O'Groats, with his
piano trailing behind in a van. At the end of each gruelling leg
of the ride he will give a recital from the back of his touring
van – come and show your support for the Olympianist who
might even include some music by Van Beethoven in his
programme! See the Festival website for details of how to
get involved in the Olympianist's visit to Newbury.
