Join us for this lunchtime lecture and live musical performances exploring the life of George Bridgtower (1778–1860), a London-based virtuoso violinist of African and Polish descent, and his connections to Cambridge. Dr Victoria Avery, curator of our Rise Up exhibition, shares her fascinating new research alongside violin performances by Nicole Cherry, the Assistant Professor of Violin from University of Texas at San Antonio and founder of the ForgewithGeorge project which commissions new violin compositions inspired by Bridgtower.
