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.

 Combining stunning performance with storytelling, Nicola shares a selection of shorter works – from romantic to virtuosic to folk-inspired. The personal and fun programme will be combined with her thoughts surrounding her choices of music, as well as her experiences over the past decade.

 Nicola is one of the most sought-after violinists of her generation. Her ability to captivate audiences and her wide appeal as an advocate for classical music has made her one of the most influential artists of today.

 This performance will be intimate and personal, with Nicola joined onstage by close colleagues, including Brazilian guitarist Plinio Fernandes, and accordionist Samuele Telari.

 Nicola Benedetti 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.
