With a career spanning almost four decades, GRAMMY® Award-winning violinist Joshua Bell is one of the most celebrated artists of his era. Bell has performed with virtually every major orchestra in the world, and continues to maintain engagements as a soloist, recitalist, chamber musician, conductor and as the Music Director of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields.

Bell’s highlights for the 2024-25 season include the August release of two new albums: Thomas DeHartmann Rediscovered (featuring conductor Dalia Stasevska), released on Pentatone, and an album of Mendelssohn piano trios with Jeremy Denk and Steven Isserlis, released on Sony Masterworks. Bell will rejoin Denk and Isserlis in November 2024 for a series of concerts at Wigmore Hall. He appears as guest soloist with the New York Philharmonic, conducts and plays with DSO Berlin, and tours in recital throughout North America, South America, Australia, and mainland China.

Bell has been nominated for six GRAMMY® awards, was named “Instrumentalist of the Year” by Musical America, deemed a “Young Global Leader” by the World Economic Forum, received the Avery Fisher Prize, and was named an “Indiana Living Legend” in 2000. He has collaborated with peers including Renée Fleming, Daniil Trifonov, Emanuel Ax, Lang Lang, Chick Corea, Regina Spektor, Chris Botti, Anoushka Shankar, Dave Matthews, Josh Groban, and Sting, among others. He has performed for three American presidents and the justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. Bell participated in President Barack Obama’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities’ mission to Cuba, resulting in an Emmy-nominated PBS Live from Lincoln Center special. Bell performs on the 1713 Huberman Stradivarius violin.
