The world master of violin Nigel Kennedy rehearsed live on Tuesday evening, three days ahead of his largely anticipated concert in Sofia.
The eccentric violinist has come to Bulgaria upon the invitation of the Classic FM Radio and the mobile operator MobilTel to inaugurate the Sofia Jazz Peak Festival with his exclusive concert.
In the first part of the performance Kennedy will play his interpretation of Vivaldi's Four Seasons together with a Bulgarian orchestra. In the second one of the performance he is presenting popular violin concert, included in his new album "Vivaldi II".
For the past 25 years, Nigel Kennedy has been acknowledged as one of the world's leading violin virtuosos. His excellent technique, unique talent and popular appeal have brought fresh perspectives to both the classical and contemporary repertoire.
