Leading violinist Nicola Benedetti has announced a new tour of Scotland in March this year.
The Silver Violin Tour will take in Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall and Edinburgh's Usher Hall, as well as some regional venues across Scotland, including the Barrfield Theatre in Largs, Ayr Town Hall and Greenock's new Beacon Theatre.
On the tour the violinist, originally from West Kilbride, North Ayrshire, who won the BBC Young Musician of the Year at the age of 16, will perform a number of works from her latest album, The Silver Violin.
She will also perform music from movies including works by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Dmitri Shostakovich and John Williams, including the theme from Schindler's List, the Romance from The Gadfly and arrangements of arias from Korngold's romantic opera Die tote Stadt.
The performance will also include the Tchaikovsky Piano Trio with her long-term collaborators, cellist Leonard Elschenbroich and pianist Alexei Grynyuk.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
