Legendary Joshua Bell to perform with the ANPO
GRAMMY Award-winning, legendary violinist Joshua Bell will perform with the Armenian National Philharmonic Orchestra for the first time. The concert will be conducted by the artistic director and the principal conductor of the orchestra Eduard Topchjan. During the concert, Bell will perform Beethoven's Violin Concerto, and in the second part, the orchestra will play Beethoven's Symphony No. 3.

The concert will take place on May 8, at 19:00, in "Aram Khachatryan" concert hall. 

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

As an exclusive Sony Classical artist, Bell has recorded more than 40 albums garnering GRAMMY®, Mercury®, Gramophone and OPUS KLASSIK awards. Bell’s Fall 2019 Amazon Music Originals new Chopin Nocturne arrangement was the first classical release of its kind on the platform. Bell’s 2016 release, For the Love of Brahms, includes 19th-century repertoire with the Academy, Steven Isserlis, and Jeremy Denk. Bell’s 2013 album with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, featuring Bell directing Beethoven’s Fourth and Seventh symphonies, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts.
