The OlymPIANIST will cycle 1,200-mile in 21 days with piano ‘in tow’ giving daily recitals across Britain to raise funds for UK music & childrens’ charities

To raise money for music and childrens’ charities, concert pianist Anthony Hewitt - the Olympianist - will cycle with piano ‘in tow’ from Land’s End to John O’Groats to complete 1,200 miles in 21 days.  With a piano trailing in the BeethoVAN, the avid cyclist will cover up to 100 miles a day, giving 27 concerts en route. The Herculean journey across Britain’s hilly countryside will see Anthony ascend more than 20,000 metres – the equivalent of more than twice the elevation of Mt. Everest. He will perform in established venues and remote locations with his piano on a pop-up stage on the back of the BeethoVAN.
