Renowned for her “dazzling interpretative flair and exemplary technique” (Classic FM), violinist Jennifer Pike MBE has taken the musical world by storm with her unique artistry and compelling insight into music from the Baroque to the present day.
Jennifer enjoyed overnight success in 2002, when at the age of 12 she became the youngest ever winner of BBC Young Musician of the Year and the youngest major prize-winner in the Menuhin International Violin Competition. She has gone on to establish herself as one of the most exciting artists performing today, in demand as a soloist and recitalist all over the world, with an ability to “hold an audience spellbound” (The Strad) with her “luminous beauty of tone” (The Observer).
For her Crucible Playhouse debut, Jennifer will be joined by celebrated pianist Martin Roscoe, a living legend of the British music scene with whom she has forged a close partnership. Their programme of musical masterworks promises to be an electric start to our 40th anniversary year in Sheffield.
