Australian violin virtuoso Madeleine Easton will play at the coronation of King Charles III at Westminster Abbey in London.
“I feel completely honoured and a bit starstruck, I just keep pinching myself thinking, how could this have happened? How can little me be going to such an incredible event?” she told AAP.
“But strange and amazing things do happen.”
Easton will play her rare 1682 Giovanni Grancino violin with the English Baroque Soloists and Monteverdi Choir at the event on May 6 – news she has had to keep under wraps for several months.
The star violinist has played at Westminster Abbey many times and even Buckingham Palace and expects the occasion will come with strict security protocols….
