The daily mail covers the story >>
A sleeping beauty
As the clock struck midnight last night, one person already tucked up in bed was stunning violinist Linzi Stoppard. For the daughter-in-law of playwright Sir Tom Stoppard is preparing to play to an audience of 1.5 million, including Gordon Brown and London mayor Boris Johnson, at a televised gig outside the Ritz in Piccadilly as part of London's New Year's Day parade.
Linzi told me yesterday: 'There will be no New Year's Eve for me. I have to rehearse with my band all day and then be up early next morning. But I don't mind. It's a thrilling way to start what will be an incredible year for us.'
The 29-year-old's group, Fuse, will open the event with a Jimi Hendrix-style God Save The Queen. 'They asked us to do the National Anthem - but we want to do something a bit different,' said Linzi.

At age twenty-nine, British electric violinist Linzi Stoppard gives electrifying performances of Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings, which seems to be her signature piece at most performances. Even more amazing, this beautiful woman prances around the stage, rock concert style, wearing high heels and classy designer costumes. When I looked up information on her, I found she is also a professional model. Videos on YouTube feature her performances in the music capitals of Europe. If Samuel Barber were alive today, I’d love to see his reaction to her interpretation.
In this performance, she rocks Adagio for Strings on the electric violin, in London (2:56):
Here is how audiences react to her, this performance filmed at the Alexandra Palace, also in London (just like a rock concert):
Linzi also performs for schoolchildren, at their elementary schools, and inspires them to take up the violin. Here is her advice:
“The electric violin can be a real alternative to the commonplace guitar. “
She recommends five steps for young people interested in the electric violin. “My five steps are:
1.) Buy yourself a starter electric violin and amp combo from Ebay. check that it works, if you can.
2.) Learn the basics, such as scales, and bowing techniques, from a couple of How to Play the Violin books, and DVD’s.
3.) Sign up through a local college for some group violin lessons, and mix with like-minded people.
4.) Use your musical influences to experiment and develop your own sounds.
5.) Never stop believing in yourself, and take every opportunity to get out thee, and play live. If I can do it, you can!”
