Katie Mahan
Joshua Bell and Academy of
St. Martin in the Fields
All Beethoven
Friday, April 13, 8PM
Music Center
What can one say about an artist of
the flawless technique and seemingly
limitless virtuosity of violinist Joshua Bell
Gramophone Magazine puts it simply: “Bell
is dazzling”—and never more so than in his
appearances with the beloved Academy of
St. Martin in the Fields, who just named him
as its new Music Director to replace founder
Sir Neville Marriner. Savor the artistry of
these world-renowned musicians in this
all-Beethoven program, which juxtaposes
three works written around the same time
but in vividly different moods: the dramatic
Coriolan Overture, the monumental Violin
Concerto in D Major, Op. 61, and the
buoyant Symphony No. 4 in B Flat Major,
Op. 60.
Tickets $45–$125 (Stars Price $40.50–$112.50)
