“The country’s favourite violinist” (The Times) returns to Manchester on her first solo tour in more than a decade.
Nicola Benedetti is one of the most sought-after violinists of her generation – and we’re thrilled she’s returning to The Bridgewater Hall to perform a special selection of her personal favourites.
Expect romantic classics, virtuoso party pieces and even folk music from her native Scotland at this intimate concert, for which Nicola will be joined by a small group of close friends and collaborators – including brilliant Brazilian guitarist Plínio Fernandes and Italian accordion maestro Samuele Telari. Book early!
Repertoire will include Paganini’s Caprice Nos 1 and 24; Sarasate’s Carmen Fantasie and Navarra, and Wieniawki’s Polonaise arranged by Steve Goss; Ponce’s Estrellita and Maxwell-Davis’ Farewell to Stromness arranged by Paul Campbell; Bloch’s Prayer and Debussy’s Beau Soir arranged by Simon Parkin; Maria Teresa von Paradis’ Sicilienne arranged by Juliette Pochin; and Jay Ungar’s Ashokan Farewell. This full programme will be released on Nicola Benedetti’s next album on Decca Classics to coincide with the tour.
Nicola commented,‘It has been over ten years since my last full tour of the UK, and having recently come off maternity leave, I am particularly excited to perform in so many beautiful venues, reconnect with audiences I haven’t seen in some time, and play for and chat to people in a fun and personal setting. I will be joined by fantastic musicians including guitarist Plinio Fernandes and accordionist Samuele Telari.’
