She is one of he best classical violinists around.  She’s also the director of the Edinburgh International Festival and now she’s staying busy being pregnant.

We understand that Nicola Benedetti is due in May, which just might give her enough maternity leave before the festival opens August 2nd.

And, pregnancy aside, she’s affirmed her commitment to directing this year’s festival in a role that places her at the forefront of one of the most prestigious cultural events in the world.

The news of the pregnancy also come with the quiet revelation that the 36-year-old virtuoso has tied the knot although details about just who she’s married remain closely guarded.
