Nigel Kennedy: Classical and Jazz

Nigel Kennedy returns to the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Proms performing Elgar's Violin Concerto and his own compositions with some of Poland's finest jazz musicians in the Nigel Kennedy Quintet.

We celebrate violinist Nigel Kennedy's return to the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Proms after an absence of 21 years. As well as the work that first put him on the musical map - Elgar's Violin Concerto, described by Nigel as a 'monster' - he also performs his own compositions, with some of Poland's finest jazz musicians in the Nigel Kennedy Quintet.

Paul Daniel conducts the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Concert Orchestra and the programme is presented by Charles Hazlewood and Suzy Klein.
