Nicola Benedetti: Shostakovich’s Romance The Gadfly Suite, Live in The Greene Space

Scottish violinist Nicola Benedetti is an international sensation at just 25 years old. Her new album, “The Silver Violin“ -- celebrating film music of composers from the 1930s to today -- has been hailed as a perfect combination of serious musicianship and great entertainment. Named Best Female Artist at the 2012 Classic Brits, Benedetti gave her only New York concert of the season at The Greene Space on February 22, 2013, performing repertoire from the album including music from “Schindler’s List“ (John Williams), “The Gadfly“ (Shostakovich), “Scent of a Woman“ (Carlos Gardel) and “Eastern Promises“ (Howard Shore), which was written for her.
