The world was first exposed to Joshua Bell's violin virtuosity at age 14, in his Philadelphia Orchestra debut. He's continued to captivate audiences throughout a two-decade career, recording more than 30 original albums and earning multiple Grammys. He also performed all the violin solos in The Red Violin, which won a best original score Oscar, and provided solos for the soundtrack of Angels and Demons. Bell was the first musician to have a classical music video played on VH1. "At Home with Friends" is his newest CD.
