Stringing Beauty

Anyone remember the scene with Susan Sarandon and her cello in Witches of Eastwick? Sunday, Feb 15th, violinist Nicola Benedetti, one of classical music's freshest faces and passionate inerpreters, will be performing as part of the afternoon chamber music series at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Nicola has been winning over audiences with her exquisite recording of Vaughn Williams' The Lark Ascending on the Deutsche Grammaphone label. Voted the BBCs Young Musician of the Year at 16, Nicola, all of 21 now, has performed with the London Symphony Orchestra and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields among many others. Accompanying Nicola is Russian pianist Katya Apekisheva. Concert time is 1:30PM. Should be a great escape from those winter blues.
