- That punked-out hair and dress. Those huge outdoor
- concerts. The videos. You'd be forgiven if you thought NIGEL
- KENNEDY was a rock star. In fact, however, he's a virtuoso
- violinist whose offbeat performance persona has generated
- audiences of pop proportions. His recording of Vivaldi's The
- Four Seasons broke into the British Top 20 and sold more than
- 1 million copies. Now "the Nige" is touring the U.S. Upcoming
- plans: "I'm going to form a group of musicians around me who can
- play all kinds of music with equal enthusiasm -- Led Zeppelin,
- Hendrix, Beethoven and other great composers."
