An Evening with Nicola Benedetti

The Grammy Award-winning Scottish violinist returns for another enthralling Koerner Hall concert, featuring works by Debussy, Chopin, Sarasate, and others, along with new commissions and arrangements of traditional Scottish music.

Nicola Benedetti is one of the most sought-after violinists of her generation. Her ability to captivate audiences and her wide appeal as an advocate for classical music has made her one of the most influential artists of today.
