Virtuoso violinist Nigel Kennedy is set to play in Swindon.

On June 16, the UK’s greatest living violinist will perform in Swindon as part of his first large-scale UK tour in over fifteen years.

This eagerly awaited show is part of his “VIRTUOSO” tour and he has promised an evening that reflects his love of a unified approach to all music.

Kennedy will be joined by Alec Dankworth, son of music legends John Dankworth and Cleo Laine, on double bass, and renowned cellist Peter Adams.

The performance is expected to resonate deeply with the audience, in typical Kennedy style, promising an evening of musical unity.

Kennedy's journey began at age seven when he won a scholarship to the Yehudi Menuhin School of Music, paving the way for an illustrious career.

His recording of Vivaldi's 'The Four Seasons' in 1989 catapulted him to global fame and revolutionised the classical music scene.

His blend of classical and contemporary styles continue to garner fans worldwide.

He is known for his remarkable energy and technical prowess, which is set to leave the audience spellbound.
