MKCO welcomes the return of internationally renowned violinist Tamsin Waley-Cohen

 

Kicking off the New Year with a bang, Milton Keynes City Orchestra is delighted to welcome back internationally renowned violinist, Tamsin Waley-Cohen, as she returns to Milton Keynes on Friday 8^th January 2016 at the Venue MK.

Having opened the orchestra’s 2013/14 season in style, Tamsin will be gearing up for another fantastic performance as she takes to the stage for Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto, under the baton of MKCO’s Music Director and Principle Conductor, Damian Iorio. 

Tamsin was born in London in 1986 and attended the Royal College of Music. Whilst there, she studied with Itzhak Rashkovsky and won all available prizes. Tamsin has been a regular participant at the International Musicians’ Seminar at Prussia Cove since she was 16 and her past teachers have  included; Shmuel Ashkenasi, Andras Keller and Ruggiero Ricci, the latter describing her as “the most exceptionally gifted young violinist I have ever encountered.”

Together with music from two of Rossini’s operas and a Schubert symphony, this concert features drama and extreme beauty, providing the audience of Milton Keynes with the perfect warming performance for a cold January night.

Looking ahead to the concert, Chairman of MKCO, Marian Livingstone said: “This concert is a great start to 2016, ticket sales are strong - a lot of people have bought tickets as Christmas presents. We are all looking forward to another stunning performance from Tamsin”.
