Joshua Bell, violin
Sam Haywood, piano
Friday, February 4, 2011, 8pm, Symphony Hall
For more than two decades, Joshua Bell has enchanted audiences worldwide with his breathtaking virtuosity and tone of rare beauty. The story we all know of how he came to international attention at the age of 14 should no longer overshadow the story of his restless curiosity and multifaceted musical interests, the story of the artist he has become. There are a handful of classical music performers in our era that are expanding the stage for future generations in exciting new ways. Bell is one such performer, and it has earned him recognition as a classical music superstar.
“Mr. Bell doesn’t stand in anyone’s shadow.”
—The New York Times
“Few prodigies make it into musical maturity, but Bell has evolved from a technical whiz to a true artist and intellectual whose music feeds both your brain and your heart.” —Newsweek
