TV viewers' chance to see Grammy Award-winning violinist Nicola Benedetti in Ulster Hall concert
Grammy Award-winning violinist Nicola Benedetti made a highly anticipated return to Belfast earlier this month, as part of her first solo tour in ten years, with a special performance at the Ulster Hall.
In a major broadcast moment, the concert was filmed for Sky Arts by Big Mountain Productions, marking an exceptional opportunity for audiences across the UK and Ireland to experience her artistry on screen.
Nicola Benedetti & Friends will blend virtuosic performance with intimate storytelling, as she presents a carefully curated programme of shorter works ranging from the deeply romantic to the dazzlingly virtuosic, alongside selections inspired by folk traditions.
Throughout the 80-minute programme, Nicola shares personal reflections on her musical choices and insights drawn from the past decade of her artistic life.
Nicola Benedetti said: "This tour has been such a musical and personal gift for me. Each city and venue brings its history, significance and uniqueness.
"However, for various reasons, Belfast has seen the convergence of so many personal and professional paths. It is a great honour to have Sky Arts and Big Mountain Productions bring their expertise to capture this special moment for us, which will go down as a moment to remember."
Nicola Benedetti & Friends will air on Monday 29 December on Sky Arts at 7.30pm, and streaming service NOW.
