With his celebrity status and ubiquitous presence as a recitalist, soloist, and recording artist, it’s easy to forget the most important thing about Joshua Bell: He’s one of the best violinists on the classical music scene today. “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). Witness his unmatched artistry when the peerless performer returns to Carnegie Hall for what will no doubt be a dazzling recital.
