Nigel Kennedy, The Oxford Philomusica Orchestra

With three sell-out concerts with Oxford Philomusica under his belt, Nigel Kennedy - the world’s best-selling classical violinist - is back in Oxford to perform with the Orchestra again. Expect musical fireworks as he takes to the stage for Brahms’ scintillating Violin Concerto. But before that, the Philomusica will open the all-Brahms concert with the composer’s Third Symphony, a work composed in a flash of inspiration that throughout maintains an intriguing balance between heightened emotion and complete serenity.
