Joshua Bell joins the New York Philharmonic and Jaap van Zweden in a performance of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto.
The acclaimed violinist comes to WFMT to discuss his role as director of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields and to share his new album—the “Butterfly Lovers” Concerto.
The season will be the first following the departure of Riccardo Muti as music director. But the maestro will be close at hand as he continues his association with the CSO.
Banner works by Schubert, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, and Prokofiev headline Muti’s three CSO residencies, ahead of the conclusion of his tenure with Beethoven’s Missa solemnis.
In a statement, CSOA president Jeff Alexander expressed, “As we look ahead and make plans for ensemble concerts for the fall, we are also eager for the day when Maestro Muti and the full orchestra can come together again to share music with local, national and international audiences.”
Highlighting Ravinia 2018 is a celebration of the Leonard Bernstein centennial, being organized by the festival’s first-ever artistic curator, conductor, and former Bernstein student Marin Alsop.
This summer’s festival is anchored by the eighty-second annual residency of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
Joshua Bell is one of the most acclaimed musicians of our time… which is to say, he can really tear it up on the violin.
