Joshua Bell, violin; Peter Dugan, piano

The legendary music director of Academy of St Martin in the Fields returns to the Mondavi Center for a very special recital performance with Peter Dugan.

With a career spanning almost four decades, Grammy award-winning violinist Joshua Bell is one of the most celebrated artists of his era. He’s performed with virtually every major orchestra in the world, for three American presidents and the justices of the Supreme Court. Bell’s talent has even inspired a successful children’s book, The Man With The Violin, and an animated film with music by Academy Award-winning composer Anne Dudley. He appears in recital with Peter Dugan, the “fearlessly athletic” (San Francisco Chronicle) pianist and host of NPR’s From the Top.
