Upcoming concerts

I am really excited for a couple of concerts I am going to see in November- Chris Botti and Joshua Bell. Both are graduates of the IU School of Music. Chris Botti is an unbelievable trumpeter and Joshua Bell a violinist. Here are a couple of samples of their performances. I can't wait!





Joshua Bell plays a 4 million dollar Stradivarius violin (pretty similar to the violin I possess). Gene Weingarten won the Pulitzer Prize for an experiment and resulting article in which Joshua Bell performed in the DC commuter station dressed in street clothes. It was a fascinating social experiment that you can read here: Pulitzer
