Joshua Bell

The 21-year old Joshua Bell made his first concerto disc in 1988 with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields under its founder, Sir Neville Marriner. Twenty-four years later, he’s now one of the world’s most acclaimed violinists, returning to Symphony Hall with a Viennese programme in which he directs Mozart’s intensely tragic Symphony No 40 before his own performance of Brahms’s majestic Violin Concerto.
