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

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).
