Please note: Info provided by the Event Organiser
Join Nicola Benedetti, "the country's favourite violinist" (The Times) for a special show as she returns to pre-eminent stages across the UK for her first solo tour in over ten years – opening here at The Anvil.
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 Plínio Fernandes, and accordionist Samuele Telari.
Nicola Benedetti
Talented Scottish violinist of Italian descent. By the age of nine, she had already passed the eight grades of musical examinations. In 2004 she came to prominence as the winner of the BBC Young Musician Of The Year Competition and has since gone on to win the 2008 Classical BRIT Award for Young British Classical Performer. Nicola made her BBC Proms debut in August 2010. Nicola's album Homecoming entered the top 20 pop charts, an unprecedented achievement for a classical violinist. '... a risk-taking performer...' (The Times).

Plínio Fernandes
Plínio Fernandes fuses two worlds together when he performs: his cultural heritage of Brazil, where his musical roots stem from, and his added western classical music experience, as he has studied and finessed his craft in Europe.
