Joshua Bell brings his new violin suite
and Rodolfo Barráez performs Copland and Bernstein.
Grammy-winning violinist Joshua Bell celebrates the fascinating beauty of the natural world with his latest project, The Elements. Five of today’s most celebrated, living composers each wrote a movement, highlighting an element—Kevin Puts (Earth), Edgar Meyer (Water), Jennifer Higdon (Air), Jake Heggie (Fire), and Jessie Montgomery (Space)—and its unique role in the universe. Rodolfo Barráez, the LA Phil’s new Assistant Conductor, lends his infectious charisma to dance-inspired music from West Side Story and Copland’s El Salón México, a symphonic folk piece inspired by the composer’s visits to Mexico City dance halls.
