Nicola Benedetti, is one of the best known and most highly acclaimed violinists of her generation.
In this concert at Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall, she joins forces with conductor Sir Mark Elder to explore the lesser-known Second Violin Concerto of Polish composer Karol Szymanowski.
The concerto is infused with Polish folk music from the Tatra mountains, which Szymanowski described as ‘the discovery of one’s own jewels’ when he first came across it.
The concert will also feature works by Szymanowksi’s contemporary, Respighi, as well as Brahms’s symphonies.

group of nuns in Loudun, France in 1634, which led to a priest being burnt at the
stake. These scandalous events also inspired Aldous Huxley’s 1952 novel The Devils
of Loudon, and Ken Russell’s notorious 1971 film The Devils.
