Joshua Bell is giving a concert in Washington DC on Sept. 24, as I mentioned earlier (see comment on Sydney Menees blog, 8/11/06). He will perform the Tchaikovsky Concerto for the season opening of the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center. As if his performance won’t be enough, the entire program will be music by Tchaik, including Slavonic March, excerpts from Eugene Onegin sung by soloists from the Kirov Opera, Romeo and Juliet, and the 1812 Overture, and a ball will follow. Wow!! If anyone from v.com would like to attend, please let me know. This would be a great way to meet each other. Sydney has organized a similar get-together for a concert by Anne-Sophie Mutter in Chicago, and I’m following her lead. (Thanks, Sydney.) I can’t guarantee that we can go backstage and meet JB, but if anyone wants to tryViolinist.com is made possible by...
