Programme Note
“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.
