Beverley Davison is a British violin virtuoso, currently fronting an act she founded called Classical Cabaret: Hot Strings (ensemble) or "Classical Cabaret Duo" (solo with piano). She turned down an offer from Simon Rattle to be co-leader of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra to form the cabaret.
At age 10, she was selected for the Yehudi Menuhin School where she studied violin with Yehudi Menuhin himself. At 21, she was invited to guest-lead London Sinfonietta and Fires of London. She collaborated with Rudolf Nurayev on a ballet based on Arnold Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire.
On the Cameo label, she has recorded Carl Nielsen's Violin concerto and Mozart's Violin Concerto in D Major.
She has performed with Bolshoi Orchestra, Rambert Orchesta, Birmingham Royal Orchesta, English National Orchestra and Harlem Ballet Orchestras, the Michael Nyman Band and the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group.
