Classical Post Awards 2019: Nicola Benedetti, Most Innovative Instrumentalist: Strings

Classical Post Awards Nicola Benedetti

With her dynamic presence, ability to captivate an audience of any size, and her wide appeal as a high-profile advocate for classical music (which, admittedly, we love), Nicola Benedetti has become one of the most sought-after violinists of her generation. A concerto performer at heart, Nicola is wildly in-demand with major orchestras. 

With an incredibly powerful 2019/2020 season that led her to two 2020 Grammy nominations (both for her collaboration with Wynton Marsalis in his Violin Concerto in D Major), Nicola has been described as “thrilling to hear and watch,” working in tandem with her violin as if it was a central part of her nervous system (The Times).

📣 Free Masterclass for Artists

If you’ve enjoyed this conversation, I’d love to share something I created that expands on many of the ideas we explore here on Classical Post.

I recorded a free Masterclass designed specifically for classical musicians who want to:

✅ Book more concerts

✅ Increase their performance fees

✅ Build visibility with presenters, agents, and collaborators

This is the same visibility strategy I’ve used in my work with artists at Gold Sound Media—approaches that have helped them land major engagements and grow their careers in meaningful, measurable ways.

📩 Enter your email below and I’ll send you the link to watch the Masterclass on YouTube.

It’s practical, actionable, and designed for artists who are ready to stop waiting and start being seen.
