Joshua Bell needs no introduction. Let’s give him one anyway.

When the Grammy–winning violinist last conducted and performed with the NSO, he was "enthusiastically embraced with thunderous applause and excitement from the very moment he unassumingly set foot on the Concert Hall stage … the sold-out audience entirely entranced" (DC Theater Arts).

Don't miss your chance to witness Bell's brilliance firsthand in one of the most popular works of his instrument’s repertoire, Bruch's sumptuous, romantic First Violin Concerto. The program concludes with Mendelssohn's exhilarating Fourth Symphony, inspired by the composer's grand tour of Italy.

This program will receive 2 performances: Friday, September 15 at 8pm; and Saturday, September 16 at 8pm.
