Nigel Kennedy Selection of works from ‘My World’ album
Vivaldi The Four Seasons
Nigel Kennedy violin/director
36 years ago, a young violinist changed the landscape of British music with an electrifying recording of Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons that thrust these four concertos back into public consciousness. Now Nigel Kennedy returns to these extraordinarily evocative concertos, in the 300th anniversary of their publication, for special concerts with the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra. Kennedy also includes a selection of his own lusciously tuneful violin works from his album as My World – semi-improvisatory windows onto the soul of a musician of rare conviction and compelling talent.
Booking fees apply online (£3.50) and over the phone (£4). There are no booking fees for Southbank Centre Members, Patrons, Supporters Circles, or in-person bookings.
