The Elements with Joshua Bell
"Joshua Bell brings his new violin suite and Rodolfo Barráez performs Copland and Bernstein."
Grammy-winning violinist Joshua Bell celebrates the beauty of the natural world with his latest project, "The Elements," featuring five movements written by celebrated living composers, each highlighting a unique element:
Kevin Puts (Earth), Edgar Meyer (Water), Jennifer Higdon (Air), Jake Heggie (Fire), and Jessie Montgomery (Space).
Rodolfo Barráez, the LA Phil's new Assistant Conductor, brings his infectious charisma to dance-inspired music from "West Side Story" and Copland's "El Salón México," a symphonic folk piece inspired by the composer's visits to Mexico City dance halls.
The evening promises a captivating exploration of the universe's elements through the lens of contemporary classical music.
