Academy of St Martin in the Fields - Joshua Bell

The ever-popular Academy of St Martin in the Fields, under the musical direction of renowned soloist Joshua Bell, returns to the Celebrity Series for the thirteenth time! This storied, conductor-less ensemble is one of the world’s finest chamber orchestras, well known for its inspired and inspiring interpretations of great orchestral music. Tonight’s program includes works by Bach, Barber, and Beethoven, including two Violin Concertos sure to highlight Bell, a superstar instrumentalist whose spectacular gifts as a soloist have earned him the reputation as “one of the most imaginative, technically gifted and altogether extraordinary violinists of our time.” (The Washington Post)
