Nicola Benedetti's Virtual Sessions
Reach Thousands; Final Concert Is
Sunday
When Nicola Benedetti launched her Benedetti Sessions program in
January, the model for her new educational program was to teach massive
gatherings of children and teachers at various locations across the United
Kingdom over the course of spring.

Obviously the worldwide Covid 19 pandemic changed those plans - but it
also likely expanded the reach of her program, as thousands of music
students all over the world have participated in her Virtual Benedetti
Sessions. A Grand Finale concert - the culmination of those sessions - will
take place this Sunday at 4 p.m. BST, and anyone can watch on Nicola’s
YouTube channel (click here).
