“Princess of the Violin” Vanessa May will perform in St. Petersburg.
Romantic and sensual, the phenomenally talented violinist Vanessa Mae is able to combine acoustic and electric violins with modern rhythms – techno, jazz, reggae. Her music sounds fashionable, even if it’s Beethoven’s sonata. Perhaps her amazing musicality is the consequence of luck: Vanessa was born on the same day as the violinist and composer Niccolo Paganini.
Her first performance took place when Vanessa was only nine years old, and a year later she was already playing in the Philharmonic Orchestra. Interestingly, her first instrument was the pianoforte. The debut album “The Violin Player” immediately conquered the tops of the charts in two dozen countries and made Vanessa very popular. She performed at the best venues in the world, and even performed Bach for members of the royal family!
Among her trophies is an “EMI” award, as the best-selling classical music performer in the world. She appeared on the covers of the world media on more than one occasion, and People magazine included Vanessa May as one of the fifty most beautiful women in the world. In addition to music, Vanessa is fond of sports, and even performed at the Olympic Games as an athlete when she represented Thailand in Sochi 2014 in giant slalom under the surname of her father – Vanakorn.
In most of her concerts, May uses the Gizmo mascot of Guadagnini, made in 1761 and bought at auction by her parents for 250,000 pounds. She also uses Zeta Jazz Model electric scribblers made in the USA and three electric Ted Brewer Violins scribblers.
This time Vanessa May will perform the best works of great composers and music of contemporary authors accompanied by an orchestra. Concerts of a violinist in St. Petersburg almost always pass with sold-out performances. The artist has repeatedly admitted that she treats St. Petersburg with special tenderness and trepidation.
Russian fans are already anticipating this new and special meeting with Vanessa May. Connoisseurs of her virtuosic playing will plunge you into the world of invigorating techno-rhythms and the harmony of classical music. Not to mention, all this on the eve of the most delicate and beautiful spring holiday – International Women’s Day, which is so widely celebrated in Russia. Tulips, mimosa, chocolate and music are the perfect addition to your unforgettable visit to St. Petersburg, which we will gladly help to organize.
