Nigel Kennedy to Play Bach, Ellington at MUPA

English

"At his forthcoming Budapest Spring Festival concert, Kennedy will put an equation mark between Bach, who liked improvising himself, and Duke Ellington, who used improvisation as a composer's tool," MUPA said.

 
Nigel Kennedy embarked on his music career from Brighton, to overthrow the status quo between classical and pop music. A virtuoso classical musician, Kennedy has always aimed to bring age-old music closer to young people. Needless to say, his efforts have paid off. His critics claim that "no other violinist in the world is capable of shifting styles as smoothly as Kennedy."
