Nicola Benedetti's Indian Serenade

Documentary following former Young Musician of the Year and virtuoso violinist Nicola Benedetti, as she joins the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Scottish Symphony Orchestra on a tour of India.

Celebrating ten years since she won Young Musician of the Year, virtuoso violinist Nicola Benedetti joins the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Scottish Symphony Orchestra on the trip of a lifetime - a tour of India. This film goes behind the scenes with Nicola, as she plays in Mumbai and New Delhi and experiences the country for the very first time.

It reveals the joys and challenges of life on the road for a musician - the gruelling rehearsal schedule, the pre-performance nerves and the thrill of coming off stage to rapturous applause. There's an insight into Nicola's passion for the violin and the special bond she shares with her Stradivarius. Nicola also takes part in workshops for local children and gives an informal performance to young children in a Mumbai municipal school.
