An Evening with Nicola Benedetti

An Evening with Nicola Benedetti

Join Nicola Benedetti, ‘The country’s favourite violinist’ (The Times), for a unique and personal show as she returns to pre-eminent stages across the UK for her first solo tour in over ten years. Combining stunning performance with storytelling, Nicola shares a selection of shorter works – from romantic to virtuosic to folk – combined with her thoughts surrounding her choices of music, as well as her experiences over the past decade. This performance will be intimate and personal, with Nicola joined onstage by fellow musicians including Brazilian guitarist Plinino Fernandes and accordionist Samuele Telari.

The programme will include:
Pablo de Sarasate Carmen Fantasie
Pablo de Sarasate Caprice Basque
Ernest Bloch Prayer
Trad Ashokan Farewell
Works by Clara Schumann, Vaughan Williams and Paganini along with new commissions and arrangements of traditional Scottish music.
