For many, the status of national treasure is something that comes close to retirement. Scottish violinist Nicola Benedetti has achieved it at the age of twenty-eight. With her charisma, poise and virtuosity, not to mention her devotion to promoting musical education, she has become one of the country’s most valued musicians. What a delight, then, that she will return to the Wigmore Hall 2015/16 season this February for a lunchtime concert, accompanied by pianist Alexei Grynyuk.

The regular duo partners will play a pair of violin sonatas from the masters of the classical repertoire. First up is Beethoven’s Violin Sonata No. 10 (1812), the composer’s last work in the genre. Across its four movements, it contains some of the loveliest music the old curmudgeon ever wrote, with a sky-seeking delicacy that nonetheless requires great technical talent. It will be joined by Brahms’ Violin Sonata No. 2 (1886), perhaps the romantic equivalent to Beethoven’s work in both its joyful radiance and its demanding score. Paired together under Benedetti and Grynyuk, these two masterpieces should make for a delightful afternoon.
