Classical music superstar, Joshua Bell will perform with the KZN Philharmonic for one concert only on September 1, 2012, at the Durban City Hall. This was announced by the orchestra chief executive and artistic director, Bongani Tembe, at a media function in Durban last week.

Often referred to as the poet of the violin, Joshua Bell has enchanted audiences around the world with his breathtaking virtuosity. His numerous awards and accolades include the Avery Fisher Prize, 2010 Instrumentalist of the Year by Musical America and performances for Sony Classical film soundtracks, including The Red Violin, which won the Oscar for Best Original Score.

“We are absolutely delighted to be hosting and performing with Joshua Bell who is an extraordinary artist,” commented Mr Tembe. “Being able to facilitate concerts and experiences such as these form an integral part of the orchestra’s mandate to bring music to all people.”

Tickets for this exclusive concert will be available from Computicket from May 2nd.
