Overview
Praised by The Scotsman for her ‘golden precision and effortless virtuosity’, Fenella Humphreys has drawn a devoted following thanks not least to her inspired albums of works for unaccompanied violin and impassioned recording of Sibelius’s Violin Concerto. She launches her residency at Wigmore Hall by exploring music from three centuries, including a major commission from Sally Beamish and Stravinsky’s Pulcinella Suite, testament to the violinist’s imaginative programming and determination to place familiar pieces in fresh contexts.
