Soloist: Jeanine Thorpe – violin
The Wolsey orchestra is delighted to welcome young violinist Jeanine Thorpe from Framlingham, Suffolk, a world-class star of the future, to perform Prokofiev’s magical and enchanting Violin Concerto No. 1. Remarkably, she won the first prize in the 2002 ‘Remember Enescu’ International Violin Competition in Romania, aged 13, the first western European ever to win the award. A student of David Takeno at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, Jeanine has already won international acclaim, judged the European String Teachers’ Association ‘Outstanding Student of the Year’ for 2005 at the age of 16. Having already played concertos and recitals in such major London venues as St John’s Smith Square, St Martin-in-the-Fields and the Wigmore Hall, she now has a busy schedule of recitals around the and has been invited to Italy in the summer of 2006 to have masterclasses with Rostropovich. You can’t afford to miss hearing this truly outstanding musical talent!
