CONCERT PERFORMANCE
FROM THE BEST SELLING VIOLINIST IN THE WORLD:
NIGEL KENNEDY
Nigel Kennedy, one of the most distinctive and influential violinists of his generation, returns home to the UK with Virtuoso, his first major national tour in over fifteen years.
Renowned for his uncompromising artistry and singular style, Kennedy has performed at the world’s leading concert halls, from Carnegie Hall to the Sydney Opera House. This tour offers a rare opportunity to experience his work live in performance at Salisbury City Hall.
The programme brings together classical repertoire with jazz and contemporary influences. It includes Bach, Kennedy’s own interpretation of A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square, and original compositions, including a tribute to his mentors Yehudi Menuhin and Stéphane Grappelli.
He is joined by long-time collaborators Alec Dankworthon bass and Peter Adamson cello, forming an exceptional ensemble of musical sensitivity and precision.
Kennedy’s landmark recording of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasonsestablished him as a defining figure in modern classical music.
His performances continue to be marked by technical brilliance and emotional depth.
An opportunity to experience one of the great violinists of our time, a true virtuoso.
