  • Summary

  • I first met Nicky Benedetti in 2003 when she was 16 years old and had just won the BBC Young Musician of the Year Award, the first Scot to do so. I was struck by how mature she seemed for one so young - friendly, outgoing, and deadly serious about her music. I've followed her glittering career over the years, and she never fails to impress, both as a consummate musician and charismatic, exciting performer, and for her dedication to opening up the world of classical music to children and young people through her foundation. Having watched her mesmerizing performances at the Royal Albert Hall for the socially distanced BBC Proms, I was eager to find out what the experience had been like for her, performing without an audience. She talks about that and everything else with her usual candour.
