Vanessa-Mae

A prolific talent, Vanessa-Mae was the youngest violinist ever to record the Tchaikovsky and Beethoven violin concertos and had three classical albums to her credit when she was only 13 years old. In her mid-teens, she shattered the mould of the classical virtuoso with the release of her album, The Violin Player, forging a new style that has made her a multi-million-selling worldwide phenomenon and the breakthrough artist who virtually defined the fusion of classical and pop that became known as crossover. The albums that followed confirmed this success - worldwide sales have topped 10 million so far, earning more than 40 international platinum awards - making her a superstar for whom there seem to be no musical limits.

Featuring special guests All Angels as part of the main performance

Dubbed the world’s first female classical supergroup the girls shot to number 9 in the album charts and to number 2 in the classical charts following the release for their 2006 platinum selling debut album. Most of all, the girls enjoy singing live and have spent much of their two years touring the country playing in magnificent places, including Blenheim Palace. They have successfully recorded their third album, which will be released later this year.
