About

At 23, Scottish violinist Nicola Benedetti has locked up a recording contract worth more than £1 million, played in renowned concert halls across the world, and been awarded an honorary Doctor of Letters by a university in Scotland. When we were 23, we were eating three square meals of Ramen daily and putting on pants only for special occasions. So it’s with a sense of awe (and a twinge of jealousy) that we’ll head to the Meyerson to watch Benedetti lead the DSO in a performance of Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto. Conductor Jaap van Zweden will follow with Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 8.
