With a career spanning more than 30 years, Joshua Bell is one of the most celebrated violinists of his era. Perhaps the event that helped most to transform Bell’s reputation from “musician’s musician” to “household name” was his incognito performance in a Washington, D.C. subway station in 2007. Equally at home as a soloist, chamber musician, and orchestra leader, he maintains a busy schedule of recitals and orchestral performances, and his position as Music Director of the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields.
