David Worswick (L) & Simon Hewitt Jones (R)

One of our most successful projects to date, The Virtuoso Violin - a touring show featuring violinists Simon Hewitt Jones and David Worswick, has played to over fifty audiences throughout the United Kingdom, broadcast on BBC Radio, performed for Classic FM and for members of the British Royal Family, garnered several standing ovations, and given outreach performances at schools and hospitals in nearly every region of the country. The Virtuoso Violin concert has been performed at many international festivals and concert series, including the Red Violin, North Wales, Gregynog and St Asaph festivals, and venues including the Wales Millennium Centre, Newport Arts Centre, National Portrait Gallery, St Mary's Cathedral Edinburgh, and Virgin Megastore in London!

The programme is a thrilling cross-section of the last three centuries of virtuoso violin music by master musicians such as Paganini, Wieniawski, Sarasate, and many more. The repertoire is regularly updated and, according to the tastes of audiences, often features more modern compositions - from the challenging (Schnittke) through to the indisputably accessible (Corigliano, John Williams)!

Hailed by their representative in Wales as "very portable" (!), Simon and David perform alone - perfect for pianoless locations! - or with a full string band for a more intense orchestral sound. Alternatively, virtuoso pianist Kodo Osada appears alongside Simon and David with performances of outrageously difficult piano works, including the Verdi/Liszt Rigoletto Paraphrase and other virtuosic treats!

More information about The Virtuoso Violin will be on this page very soon; in the meantime you can find performance dates here, or get in touch with us for availability enquiries and to request a brochure/demo CD.
