Small venues seem to bring out the most in a performer . This was no exception. Her playing was mesmerising and yet pure. The ensemble also played to her best . The two guests also added to a wonderful treat of a show . I was particularly impressed with the young lady playing the Celtic pipes - reminiscent of the sounds from Kate Bush - Hounds LP -. A memorable nights concert in all ways .

Nicola Benedetti Biography
Born (July 1987) in West Kilbride in Ayrshire, United Kingdom, she started to learn the violin at the age of four. By the age of nine, she had already passed the eight grades of musical examinations, and in September 1997 began to study at the Yehudi Menuhin School for young musicians in rural Surrey.
At the end of her first year, she played solo in the school's annual concert at Wigmore Hall, and performed in London and Paris as soloist in Bach's Concerto in D minor for two violins and orchestra. She played in a memorial concert at Westminster Abbey celebrating the life and work of Yehudi Menuhin.
In the following year, Nicola performed with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and Scottish Opera, amongst others. In 2002, she won Britain's Brilliant Prodigy Competition, broadcast nationwide by Carlton Television. She left the Menuhin School shortly after, and at the age of 15 began studying with Maciej Rakowski, former leader of the English Chamber Orchestra.
