Joshua Bell

Gerard Schwarz

Palm Beach Symphony

Grammy-winner Joshua Bell, one of the most celebrated violinists of his era, joins Maestro Gerard Schwarz and Palm Beach Symphony to perform Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E Minor, arguably one of the masterworks of violin virtuosity and one to which Bell has added a cadenza of his own composition which he will perform.  The concert opens with the Symphony performing Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overture (“Fingals’ Cave”) and itsstirring musical summoning of nature’s drama and beauty found along the Scottish coast. The evening culminates with the Symphony performing Beethoven’s landmark Symphony No. 3 in E-Flat Major (“Eroica”) that launched his heroic period and broke new ground by creating a symphony composed like none ever before.
