Academy of St Martin in the Fields
Joshua Bell, Music Director and Violin
CHARLES IVES Variations on "America"
SAINT-SAËNS Violin Concerto No. 3
SCHUMANN Symphony No. 1 (“Spring”)
Superstar violinist Joshua Bell, whose “exquisite technique” (Orlando Sentinel) is matched by a “vaulted singing tone” (South Florida Classical Review), returns to the Knight Concert Hall with his exceptional Academy of St Martin in the Fields, “an ensemble of first-rate musicians, technically superb and generously expressive” (Dallas Morning News). They will perform two glorious masterworks of the Romantic repertory: Schumann's buoyant Symphony No. 1 and Saint-Saëns’ elegant and brilliant Violin Concerto No. 3.
Bell takes center stage as conductor and soloist for the Saint-Saëns concerto, a dazzling virtuoso showcase for this musician whom The Washington Post called “one of the most imaginative, technically gifted and altogether extraordinary violinists of our time.” After an intermission, the concert comes to an enchanting close with Schumann’s First Symphony, a seasonal celebration of renewal, hope and optimism, which the composer himself gave the radiant name of “Spring.”
