Academy of St Martin in the Fields
Joshua Bell	Violin, Director

The Academy of St Martin in the Fields returns to the Proms with director and soloist Joshua Bell in a wide-ranging programme, rich in melody and narrative. SaintSaëns’s Third Violin Concerto is the Romantic display concerto par excellence but shares its light-footed musical grace with Beethoven’s Fourth Symphony and Mendelssohn’s overture. Bridge’s Lament is an elegy for those who died following the torpedoing of the RMS Lusitania.

Tickets £9.50 - £50
