Nicola Benedetti MBE

Post by glenshena »

Watched Nicola Benedetti MBE from West Kilbride playing at the Proms last night. To be so dedicated and gifted she is phenomenal. Must be one in a milion. Never seen her playing before so it was a real eye opener. Playing Ciaikovsky at such speed I would imagine takes a LOT of practice . Her violin looks as if it is part of her arm. She was educated at Wellington School in Ayr which I believe specialises in teaching music. How I would dearly like my grandchildren to learn to play music like her.

Saw her live at the Albert Hall a few years back - a big bunch of bored-looking adolescent boys (from I guess, a private school, judging by the uniform) were slouched in the row in front, but they all sat bolt upright when ND came on stage in a very tight-fitting dress to do the Mendelssohn.
