Renowned for her “dazzling interpretative flair and exemplary technique,” the unique artistry of Jennifer Pike has taken the musical world by storm since she won the BBC Young Musician competition aged 12, whilst studying at Chetham’s.
Jennifer’s interest in repertoire which shares her Polish heritage has seen her curate a three day festival at Wigmore Hall and, in early 2019, release her new album, The Polish Violin, to critical acclaim. In this concert she combines Eastern Europe with English idyll in Elgar’s Violin Sonata, inspired by the ‘wood magic’ of his local Sussex woodland; and with a work written by her father, Jeremy Pike, to celebrate his own 60th birthday.
