Video: Student Masterclasses with Violinist Nicola Benedetti

Earlier this term, our strings students took their performance skills to the next level with a little help from Nicola Benedetti.

The Scottish violinist gave four in-depth masterclasses with current students before performing to a packed Dora Stoutzker Hall.

Watch her work through Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35 with MA student, Osian Dafydd, and Szymanowski’s Violin Concerto No. 1, Op. 35 with BMus student, Sam Hau.
