About the artist Nicola Benedetti

Violinist Nicola Benedetti has captivated audiences and critics alike with her musicality and poise. Hilary Finch recently wrote in The Times," it was thrilling to hear and watch Nicola Benedetti in a truly risk-taking performance that lived so much in the body and fused the sinews of the violin and the nerve-system of the player". This sums up Benedetti's ability to communicate and enthrall audiences with dynamic and energy-filled performances. Throughout her career, Benedetti's desire to perform new works has shown her to be one of Britain's most innovative and creative young violinists. Benedetti's choice of the Szymanowski Violin Concerto for the BBC Young Musician of the Year, her success in which catapulted her to fame in 2004, was just the beginning of her focus on less-often programmed repertoire and new music. She has recorded newly commissioned works by John Tavener and James Macmillan, has worked on jazz-influenced repertoire with Wynton Marsalis and others, and explored authentic baroque performance. Her performances of all repertoire are influenced by this wide-range of interests and study. Born in Scotland of Italian heritage, Benedetti began violin lessons at the age of five. In 1997, she entered the Yehudi Menuhin School, where she studied with Natasha Boyarskaya. After leaving the Yehudi Menuhin School she continued her studies with Maciej Rakowski in London. She has taken lessons from Pavel Vernikov in Vienna. She was the winner of the Classical BRIT Award for Young British Classic Performer in 2008.
