VIRTUOSO violinist Nigel Kennedy is set to perform in Bournemouth and Basingstoke.

Following the success of his sold out January dates performing a new interpretation of his ground breaking 'Four Seasons’ and his critically acclaimed compositions ‘Dedications’, the maverick violinist has just announced a series of extra concerts this May.

The tour will take in The Anvil, Basingstoke on Sunday May 22 and Bournemouth Pavilion on Monday May 23.

A quarter of a century on from his Guinness world record-selling album of ‘The Four Seasons’ in 1989, Kennedy released ‘The New Four Seasons’ – a new album reinventing his original work, through Sony last year.

Never being one to adhere to convention and always pushing the boundary, Kennedy’s show takes audiences on a journey with his own extraordinary flair, whilst keeping the original ‘Four Seasons’ at it’s root.

The first half of the shows will also see Kennedy performing his own critically acclaimed compositions ‘Dedications’. These pieces feature all of the characteristics that have kept Kennedy a household name for over 25 years – melodic charm, elegance and great virtuosity.
