Baku, January 30 (AZERTAC). Azerbaijani violinist Nazrin Rashidova will give a concert in St. James`s Church, in London, the UK on March 22.

According to the official web site of the musician, Nazrin Rashidova will perform music pieces with harp accompaniment.

Sponsored by BP, the Azerbaijani-British violin virtuoso has been performing on stage since early childhood, making her concert debut at the age of 3 in one of the most prestigious palaces in Baku. Just half a year later, she performed in the Anglo-American University in Cairo. At the same time, she was already appearing with orchestras in the Egyptian Capital. She was an experienced international performer by the time the Cairo Opera House awarded her a Gold Medal after an exceptional solo recital as a six-year-old. And establishing FeMusa in summer 2008 - Britain`s first female chamber orchestra since the 1950`s, which was also featured on BBC World News, is merely the latest string to an already accomplished bow.

She now plays on a violin after G.B Guadagnini Milan 1753 `Straus` (RoyalAcademy of Music Collection) by Professor David Rattray, London 2009 and with an 1890 Lamy bow, generously gifted to her by James Smillie.
