RECENT former BBC Young Musician of the Year, Nicola Benedetti, has been booked by John Gibbons to make her solo debut with his Worthing Symphony Orchestra.
She will play the Beethoven Concerto on March 8 at the Assembly Hall, when the programe will also comprise Mendelssohn's Scottish Symphony, to mark the double centenary of his birth, and British composer Edmond Rubbra's A Tribute.
Benedetti, Scott
ADVERTISEMENTish, 20, trained at the Menuhin School and won the BBC title in 2004, performing Karol Szymanowski's First Violin Concerto. She is in a £1m six-album recordings contract with Deutsche Grammophon and Universal Music Group Classics and Jazz.
Gibbons enthused: "There is undoubtedly an extra excitement in the air when I talk to people about the chance to see and hear Nicola Benedetti in our Assembly Hall – she and I have worked together on various violin concertos and I know that her infectious personality and bountiful musicianship will make this concert an afternoon to live in the memory!"
