Concert by British violinist and violist Nigel Kennedy at the Scarborough Spa Grand Hall.
Nigel Kennedy plays the Scarborough Spa Grand Hall on Saturday 16 October 2027, with the concert starting at 7:30 PM. It's a solo bill, so the whole evening is built around him.
If you're not familiar with the name, Kennedy is a violinist and violist whose work reaches across classical, jazz and contemporary classical music. He's just as comfortable with the violin as he is with the viola, and he's known for moving between those worlds rather than sticking to one. He's a Brighton born musician, born on 28 December 1956, and his training goes back to the Yehudi Menuhin School, where he studied under Menuhin himself. After that, he went to the Juilliard School to study under Dorothy DeLay, so he's come through two of the most respected names in the violin world.
That background in the classical tradition is where he started, but his career has since stretched into jazz and contemporary classical, and he's spent a good deal of his time working across those different styles rather than keeping them separate. He's as much at home with the viola as he is with the violin, and he's played both throughout his career. The Scarborough date is a solo performance, so the focus is on him and the instruments.
