Scottish violinist Nicola Benedetti makes her UMS debut with an ensemble featuring guitar, accordion, and cello performing arrangements of popular classical works. As a sought-after and influential musician and the Director of the Edinburgh International Festival, Benedetti is an unabashed advocate for Western classical music, popularizing the genre with a new generation and captivating audiences with her sumptuous tone and top-notch playing.
