Violinist Nicola Bennedetti Appointed Vice-President of Youth Orchestra

The British National Children’s Orchestra has today announced Scottish violin virtuoso Nicola Benedetti as the organisation's newly-appointed Vice-President.

“I am profoundly honoured to become a Vice-President of the NCO because it’s an organisation which I hold really close to my heart … my time with the NCO was such an influential and formative experience,” Nicola has said.
 
“At the age of eight I was learning the value and importance of collaboration with other musicians as well as gaining an insight into the world of orchestral playing,” the 28 year old virtuoso has added.
