About Joshua Bell

For over two decades, Joshua Bell has enchanted audiences worldwide with his breathtaking playing and tone of rare opulence. He came to national attention at the age of fourteen in a highly acclaimed orchestral debut with Riccardo Muti and the Philadelphia Orchestra. A Carnegie Hall debut, the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant, and a recording contract further confirmed his presence in the music world. Today he is equally at home as a soloist, chamber musician, and orchestra leader. His restless curiosity and multifaceted musical interests have taken him in exciting new directions that has earned him the rare title of “classical music superstar.” In addition to his concert career, Bell enjoys chamber music collaborations with artists such as Pamela Frank, Steven Isserlis and Edgar Meyer. He also enjoys occasional collaborations with artists outside the classical arena, having shared the stage with Josh Groban, James Taylor and Sting.

Joshua Bell has captured the public’s attention like no other classical violinist of his time. His 2008-2009 season kicks off with the September world-wide Sony Classical release of Vivaldi: The Four Seasons recorded with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, his return to his alma mater -- Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music as a senior lecturer, and the tenth anniversary DVD release of The Red Violin film featuring Joshua on the Oscar®-winning soundtrack for Best Original Score. Bell is currently featured on the soundtrack of the Paramount Vantage film Defiance..
