Joshua Bell Leads Mendelssohn's at Richardson Auditorium

Joshua Bell conductor & violin
New Jersey Symphony

Perhaps America’s finest violinist, Principal Guest Conductor Joshua Bell shows his astonishing range in this two-hour European tour: Beethoven’s thrilling Egmont Overture finds Bell leading from the concertmaster seat; then he stands in the solo spotlight for Saint-Saëns’ Third Violin Concerto, tinged with Spanish flair; finally Bell takes the conductor’s podium for Mendelssohn’s ebullient “Italian” Symphony, full of sun-splashed melodies.
