Grammy award winner Joshua Bell makes a return visit to the Dewan Filharmonik PETRONAS on 9-10 June 2018 to perform Max Bruch’s brilliant Violin Concerto No.1. Conductor Mark Wigglesworth’s interpretation of Bruckner’s bold, majestic and lyrical Seventh Symphony, which brought the composer much success after its 1883 premiere in Leipzig, concludes MPO’s amazing 2017-18 season of great music making at DFP.
With a career spanning more than 30 years as a soloist, chamber musician, recording artist and conductor, Joshua Bell is one of the most celebrated violinists of his era. An exclusive Sony Classical artist, Bell has recorded more than 40 CDs garnering Grammy, Mercury, Gramophone and Echo Klassik awards and is the recipient of the Avery Fisher Prize. Named the Music Director of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields in 2011, he is the only person to hold this post since Sir Neville Marriner formed the orchestra in 1958.
Internationally renowned and Olivier Award-winning conductor Mark Wigglesworth is one of the outstanding musicians of his generation, as much at home in the opera house as the concert hall. Recognised for his masterly interpretations, his highly detailed performances combine a finely considered architectural structure with great sophistication and rare beauty. Through a broad repertoire ranging from Mozart to Boulez, he has forged enduring relationships with many orchestras and opera houses throughout the world.
