Benedetti Plays Marsalis Tickets

Nicola Benedetti, a transformative violinist and Edinburgh International Festival director, continues to redefine classical music with bold collaborations and diverse repertoire. Notably, Wynton Marsalis wrote the Violin Concerto for Benedetti, and the two artists partnered on Marsalis: Violin Concerto and the Fiddle Dance Suite, recorded with the Philadelphia Orchestra under Cristian M
03celaru in 2019. The collaboration is a landmark fusion of jazz, Celtic, and classical idioms, earning Benedetti a Grammy for Best Classical Instrumental Solo (2020) for Marsalis: Violin Concerto and Fiddle Dance Suite. Her ongoing impact extends through fan-favorite projects across Decca Classics, including Baroque explorations, romantic concertos, and genre-blending releases like Violin Café (2025). This page highlights the Benedetti-Marsalis partnership, her discography, and upcoming performances, including the 2025 UK/IRL solo-tour program, An Evening with Nicola Benedetti and Friends, running from 12 October to 4 December 2025.

From Italia (2011) to The Silver Violin (2012) and Homecoming – A Scottish Fantasy (2014), Benedetti’s catalog showcases a blend of studio mastery and adventurous programming. Her Beethovian and Elgar interpretations on Decca Classics—Beethoven Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61 (Apr 11, 2025) with the Aurora Orchestra conducted by Nicholas Collon, and Elgar Violin Concerto (Aug 7, 2020)—demonstrate her lyrical depth and modern sensibility. The 2021 Baroque project with the Benedetti Baroque Orchestra further cements her role as a curator of historical and contemporary violin literature. Recognized with the Queen’s Medal for Music (2017) and appointments as MBE (2013) and CBE (2019), Benedetti has also led the Edinburgh International Festival since 2022.
