Just broken bone - how long will it take to heal?

So, after an unlikely chain of events today, I have ended up breaking the 5th metacarpal in my right hand. A&E said that there's no displacement and only little rotation, which is fine. Also, not in loads of pain.

Never broken a bone before, so how long am I looking at for recovery? I am a pianist and have a show starting on 16th February. Is it highly likely that I won't be able to play? Will be such a shame as was so looking forward to it.

Any insight much appreciated.

Sam.
