Joshua Bell at Aspen, Then and Now
Violinist Joshua Bell remembers being a 15-year-old student at the Aspen Music Festival and School, and how it changed his life. He'll tell the story, and we'll hear Gil Shaham, Cho-Liang Lin, Ingrid Fliter, and others share their Aspen memories. And from this summer's Aspen Music Festival, Joshua Bell joins the Aspen Chamber Symphony to play the Violin Concerto by Felix Mendelssohn. Also from the 2010 Aspen Festival: David Finckel and Wu Han play Beethoven's Cello Sonata No. 2, Ingrid Fliter plays a pair of Chopin Waltzes, and flutist Marina Piccinini and the Brasil Guitar Duo play "Doce de Coco" by Brazilian composer Jacob do Bandolim.
