Experience Fenella Humphreys live on September 26th

Fenella Humphreys is a British violinist recognised for her expressive interpretations of both standard repertoire and lesser-known works, often focusing on lyrical and emotionally resonant performances. Her playing is frequently described as possessing a refined tone and insightful phrasing, encompassing a broad range from Baroque to contemporary compositions. She is known for projects exploring connections between music and other art forms, and for commissioning new works.

The concert will take place at the John Innes Centre in Norwich. This independent, international research institute focuses on plant science and microbiology, contributing significantly to understanding fundamental plant processes and improving crop performance. Founded in 1910, the Centre initially focused on agricultural research addressing issues of food security following concerns about British wheat supplies. The building itself features notable architectural elements, including its modernist design reflecting its period of expansion in the mid-20th century. While primarily a scientific institution, the John Innes Centre occasionally hosts cultural events within its spaces, utilising areas designed for conferences and public engagement to broaden access to its facilities. The venue offers a unique setting outside of traditional concert halls.
