U.S. violinist Joshua Bell will collaborate with Italian pianist Alessio Bax to perform Vitali’s “Chaconne in G Minor,” Beethoven’s “Violin Sonata No. 9 in A Major, Op. 47” and Ravel’s “Violin Sonata No. 2 in G Major.”

    Bell made his Carnegie Hall debut at age 17 with the St. Louis Symphony. Nicholas Maw’s violin concerto is dedicated to Bell, who premiered it in 1993 and won a Grammy Award for his recording of the piece. He performed the solo part on John Corigliano’s Oscar-winning soundtrack for the film “The Red Violin” and was also featured in “Ladies in Lavender.” Bell made an appearance in the movie “Music of the Heart,” a story about the power of music, with other notable violinists.

    Bell’s instrument is a 300-year-old Stradivarius violin called the Gibson ex Huberman, which was made in 1713 during what is known as Antonio Stradivari’s “Golden Era.”

    Bell was awarded the Avery Fisher Prize on April 10, 2007, at Lincoln Center in New York City. The prize is given once every few years to classical instrumentalists for outstanding achievement. On May 3, 2007, the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music announced that Bell had joined the faculty as a senior lecturer.

    Bax won the Hamamatsu International Piano Competition in Japan at age 19 and the Leeds International Pianoforte Competition in 2000. Bax received the Avery Fisher Career Grant in 2009. He studied at Southern Methodist University near Dallas, Texas, where he is currently a faculty member of the university’s Meadows School of the Arts. Bax is a Steinway Artist.
