Destiny elevated Nigel Kennedy into one of classical music’s true greats. He was born into a musical family, nurtured by a musical community and propelled to international superstardom.
Kennedy remains the bestselling violinist of all time. He single-handedly paved the way for a new generation of artists who have enjoyed success both in the classical field and in the mainstream. His virtuoso technique, unique talent and mass appeal have brought fresh perspectives to both the classical and contemporary repertoire.
Pushing at the boundaries that might constrain others, he has continued to pioneer new sounds and new methods of performance.
Single-minded, determined and utterly unique, Kennedy explores repertoire which spans classical, jazz, klezmer, rock and much, much more.
Kennedy has won BRIT Awards, ECHO and Bambi awards in Germany, multiple Grammy nominations and other awards across the world. He performed and recorded music from the Baroque era to the modern day. Many of his albums went Platinum and Gold, his most recent album, My World, just hit the top of the classical charts in the UK.
A true original, Kennedy’s career remains in the ascent. And that will be music to his many fans’ ears.
