WORLD renowned West Kilbride musician Nicola Benedetti features in a special BBC TV programme tonight, Thursday.
Celebrating ten years since she won Young Musician of the Year, virtuoso violinist Nicola joins the Scottish Symphony Orchestra on the trip of a lifetime: a tour of India.
This film goes behind-the-scenes with Nicola - as she plays in Mumbai and New Delhi and experiences the country for the very first time.
It reveals the joys and challenges of life on-the-road for a musician; the gruelling rehearsal schedule, the pre-performance nerves and the thrill of coming off stage to rapturous applause.
There’s an insight into Nicola’s passion for the violin – and the special bond she shares with her Stradivarius.
Nicola also takes part in workshops for local children and gives an informal performance to young children in a Mumbai municipal school.
Details are: Nicola Benedetti’s Indian Serenade on Thursday 15 May, BBC Two Scotland, 10 to 10.30pm.
