Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Nigel Kennedy (born 28 December 1956) is an English violinist and violist. Nigel Kennedy was born in Brighton, East Sussex, and comes from a musical lineage. His grandfather was Lauri Kennedy, a British-born musician and principal cellist with the BBC Symphony Orchestra who played with Fritz Kreisler, Jascha Heifetz, Arthur Rubinstein and others. His grandmother was Dorothy Kennedy, a pianist, who accompanied John McCormack and taught Enrico Caruso''s children. Lauri and Dorothy settled in Australia where their son, the cellist John Kennedy, was born. He was principal cellist of Sir Thomas Beecham''s Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. John had a relationship with an English piano teacher, Scylla Stoner. John left Scylla (they were unmarried) to return to Australia. He did not know she was pregnant by him at the time, and for many years was unaware of the existence of his son, Nigel Kennedy, whom he met for the first time when Nigel was 11. Nigel Kennedy has about 30 close relatives in Australia, whom he visits whenever he tours Australia.
