Nigel Kennedy goes for a US reboot

Nigel Kennedy goes for a US reboot

The British bad-boy violinist, 68 next week, has appointed ex-CAMI agent Doug Sheldon to revive his US career.

Sheldon writes:

Sheldon Artists is pleased to announce the addition of violinst Nigel Kennedy to its roster, for exclusive representation in North America.

Nigel Kennedy has long been acknowledged as one of the world’s leading violin virtuosos and he is probably the most important violinist Britain has ever produced.

He is a rare artist, capable of popularizing all types of sophisticated music without ever compromising its quality or artistic integrity. While he approaches music with great seriousness, for Kennedy, serious in music does not have to equal solemn.
