 Please Note: This is a past event event.

Don't worry we have plenty more current events to choose from.

A baroque extravaganza of exotica and virtuosity starring Scotland’s favourite violinist. Nicola Benedetti is exploring the Vivaldi repertoire at the moment, and here she juxtaposes his most famous set of concerti with a scintillating rarity: Il Grosso Mogul. No-one knows where the nickname comes from (and we are pretty sure Vivaldi had no links to Delhi royalty), but its suggestion of oriental brilliance is picked up in the rest of this colourful programme with Rameau’s sensational dances from Les Paladins.
