Nigel Kennedy!

Who is Nigel Kennedy? 

Nigel was born December 28th 1956 in Brighton, England. He is a violinist, a violist and conductor.

Nigel Kennedy is classical not only in his music, but in who he is and how he expresses himself. He has been responsible for influencing many rock and roll musicians to learn violin, because of who he his and his style!

There are no stuffy audiences at Nigel's concerts. They are sometimes more like a rock concert. Incredible classical violinist and conductor! Let's Rock & Roll!

I want you to experience Nigel for yourself, because words are not enough!

Peace...from Nigel! 

You may think Nigel looks a bit radical, well wait till you hear him play, he is!

Nigel was Yehudi Menuhin's most famous child protégé, studying first at the Menuhin School. Yehudi paid all of the school fees for Nigel's education at the school. Nigel than moved on to New York to study under Dorothy DeLay at the Juilliard School of Music.

Something of Passion on SquidWho Forum! 

This Page Was Completely Re-Done

Nigel Kennedy has been on my mind for sometime. I will put in a DVD of Nigel's on and listen, sometimes sit here and watch spell-bound as he plays. I wanted to redo SquidWho Forum with something of passion, and I did that on 01.03.09.

I hope you enjoy this lens that has been completely re-done. I know that if you spend sometime listening and viewing, you will be a fan of Nigel's too, if you aren't already!

My granddaughter, is taking up violin at the age of four. Along with her, my son, who is a classical guitarist, is learning violin, so that they can play together. Music lessons are worth everything to give to a child...

All three of my now adult children have taken music lessons. Flute, baritone, base, piano, and guitar! It has been a joy to hear them play!

This is Nigel Kennedy! 

Nigel Kennedy has performed for Royalty, such as for Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales and Princess Diana. He has worldwide media attention and has appeared on television many times to give his extraordinary performances.

Nigel Kennedy has been presented with the Outstanding Contribution to British Music Award, and Male Artist of the Year at the UK Brit Awards; in France a Gold Award on the major network TV programme Vivement Dimanche Award and in Switzerland The Gold Rose of Montreux Award, amongst other awards.

Nigel Pours Out of His Heart! 

It has to hurt to be so great!

Nigel drinks a pot of tea before a concert for more energy to play. He also spends some time in quiet thought before a concert for contrast. Nigel loves to go jogging and is an avid fan and supporter of the game of football.

Recordings by Nigel of Brahms and Beethoven violin concertos are outstanding. His first landmark recording of Vivaldi's Four Seasons earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the best-selling classical work of all time, of which over 2 million copies have been sold.
