Vanessa-Mae
 Vanessa-Mae, the world famous violin virtuoso, has announced a West Country date next summer when she will be appearing at Westonbirt Arboretum as part of the Forestry Commission’s 2009 concert season. A prolific talent, Vanessa-Mae was the youngest violinist ever to record the Tchaikovsky and Beethoven violin concertos and had three classical albums to her credit when she was only 13 years old. In her mid-teens, she shattered the mould of the classical virtuoso with the release of her album, The Violin Player, forging a new style that has made her a multi-million-selling worldwide phenomenon and the breakthrough artist who virtually defined the fusion of classical and pop that became known as crossover. The albums that followed confirmed this success - worldwide sales have topped 10 million so far, earning more than 40 international platinum awards - making her a superstar for whom there seem to be no musical limits. Vanessa-Mae, will be performing with her band and a symphony orchestra, plus firework finale at Westonbirt Arboretum, Tetbury, Glos, on Saturday 18 July 2009. Tickets £29.50 (subject to booking fee) go on sale at 9:00 am Friday 28 November 2008. Forestry Commission Box Office tel 01842 814612 or buy online or in person at the venue. |
