Nicola Benedetti Plays Wynton Marsalis

Nicola Benedetti performs Wynton Marsalis's Violin Concerto, written specially for her by the composer. Thomas SΓΈndergΓ¥rd 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 SΓΈndergΓ¥rd conducts the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, and Georgia Mann presents, with special guests.
