A Special Evening with
Joshua Bell
 
Joshua Bell, the leading Violin Virtuoso of his generation performs the best-loved Violin Concerto of all time. And, as if that weren’t enough, he’ll also dazzle us with his most-requested, virtuoso tour-de-force, music from “West Side Story.” Experience a wall-to-wall celebration of a legendary American artist and a real “Evening with Joshua Bell.” The concert also features a beautiful new composition by Music Alive Resident Composer, Peter Child, whose “Down-a-Down Derry” was a major highlight of last season’s American Music Festival.

Grammy award winning Violinist Joshua Bell made his professional debut at 14 with the Philadelphia Orchestra. Since then he has performed with almost all of the world’s major orchestras and conductors. According to Porter Anderson of CNN "Like cellist Yo-Yo Ma, Bell is a signal virtuoso for our age….When the voice of Joshua Bell’s violin speaks, the world will always listen."
