Nicola Benedetti plays Ayr

Published 24 Jan 2012 08:30

Nicola Benedetti returns to Ayr Town Hall on Wednesday 15th

February at 7.30pm to give a recital as part of the Ayrshire Music

Festival's Centenary Celebrations.

With her pianist Alexander Grynyuk she will play music by

James MacMillan, Strauss, Prokofiev and Ravel.

Nicola, who now has a world-wide career as a violinist,

first performed at the Ayrshire Music Festival in 1995 at the age of

seven. In 1996 she was awarded trophies as best violinist, best string

player, and best instrumentalist - at the age of eight!

It is Nicola's wish that the proceeds of the concert should

be divided between Clic Sargent and Sistema Scotland.

Tickets cost £15 (£10 for under-18) can be booked in

advance by downloading the booking form from the Festival website:

ayrshiremusicfestival.org.uk

Tickets will also be available at the Town Hall on the

evening of the performance.
