The concert will combine solo violin performances by composers such as Bach and Piazzolla, with arrangements and original compositions for electric violin using up-to-the-minute technology.

This allows him to perform duos by Telemann and Bartok, multi-tracked arrangements of pieces by Chick Corea, Philip Glass and Bill Whelan, and pieces by The Beatles and Coldplay – every note played live, with no backing tracks.

The concert takes place at 3pm on Saturday, January 19, at St Andrew's Church, Congham, and the programme will include: Telemann's allegro from Canonic Sonata no.1, Bartok's Dance from Maramaros, Bill Whelan's Marta's Dance from Riverdance, Philip Glass's violin concerto slow movement (arranged by Steve), movements from Bach's Partita in D minor, Duplicity by Steve, Chick Corea's Children's Song no.6, George Harrison's While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Pachelbel Canon.

Steve studied violin with Emmanuel Hurwitz, Sidney Griller and the Amadeus Quartet at the Royal Academy of Music from 1981 to 1985. In 1985 he formed the Bingham String Quartet, an ensemble which has become one of the foremost in the UK.

The quartet has recorded numerous CDs and has worked for radio and television.

In recent years Steve has developed his interest in improvisation, electronics and World music.

His debut solo CD "Duplicity" was released in November 2005.
