Bath International Music Festival

Tonight, Maurene and I went to the Assembly Rooms in Bath to hear Nicola Benedetti. She was named the BBC's Young Musician of the Year in 2004. At only nineteen (she turns twenty in July) I was captivated by her performance. Maurene argued that it was her looks. I'm not all that keen of violin music but I was blown away to watch her play for a first full hour from memory. Maybe that is what astounded me.

The Assembly Rooms themselves are well worth the visit. The grand ballrooms with their magnificent chandeliers are worth seeing with or without a concert. You can hear(and see) Nicola play at:
