Project San Francisco: Joshua Bell and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields

This performance is part of Project San Francisco, an innovative composer and artist residency program.

"The roar of the applause that filled Davies Symphony Hall … had almost physical power, rushing forth like a river that had suddenly been undammed…the audience had just heard the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, led from the concertmaster’s chair by violinist Joshua Bell." —THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE

The last time Joshua Bell and his musical colleagues from the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields visited Davies Symphony Hall, the response—and experience—were extraordinary. In his final appearance this season as part of Project San Francisco, Joshua Bell does dual duty as leader and soloist in a magnificent all-Beethoven program.
