Nicola Benedetti performs Wynton Marsalis's Violin Concerto, written specially for her by the composer. Thomas Søndergård conducts the Royal Scottish National Orchestra in Bernstein and Britten.
Superstar violinist Nicola Benedetti takes to the stage at the Royal Albert Hall tonight with a very special Proms premiere performance of a concerto written specially for her by American jazz legend Wynton Marsalis. An electrifying mix of jazz and Scottish folk, it forms the centrepiece of a programme packed with fizz and sparkle. Also featured are Bernstein’s kaleidoscopic Symphonic Dances from West Side Story and a blast of salty ocean air in Britten’s Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes.
Thomas Søndergård conducts the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, and Georgia Mann presents, with special guests.
