The world was first exposed to Joshua Bell's violin virtuosity at age 14, when he debuted with the Philadelphia Orchestra. Since then, he's continued to captivate audiences throughout a two-decade career. Bell made his Carnegie Hall debut in '85, followed by a record deal, numerous performances with the world's best orchestras and a Grammy in '01. He's also received the Gramophone Award and the Avery Fisher Prize. Bell's recording of Antonio Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" is set to release in September.
