Award-winning violinist and BBC Broadcaster Seonaid Aitken pays tribute to her French Jazz violin hero Stéphane Grappelli. Having guested with former Grappelli guitarist Martin Taylor MBE, Seonaid now tutors at the Grappelli-Django Camp (The Netherlands). The ‘sizzling violinist’ and her band will celebrate Grappelli’s career with swingin’ tunes from his solo repertoire – such as ‘Sweet Georgia Brown’ and ‘Ol’ Man River’ - including material from his Quintette du Hot Club de France and legendary duets with Classical virtuoso Yehudi Menuhin.
This concert is part of the Thursday Lunchtime concert series, and is free to attend.
Doors open at 12.45pm, and seats are allocated on a first come first served basis. Please arrive early to avoid disappointment.
