BSO Presents Joshua Bell Plays Mendelssohn

You can always count on the superstar violinist Joshua Bell to perform Mendelssohn’s deeply poetic concerto with “huge tenderness, rendering the audience to jelly” (Bachtrack). The young Russian conductor Anna Rakitina navigates the mysteries and charms of Elgar’s titillating Enigma Variations, and she introduces one of the most compelling voices in contemporary music: the Pulitzer prize-winning composer and sound artist Ellen Reid, who weaves the intimate tones of three wordless sopranos into a score that reflects on women’s suffrage.

This concert repeats on Fri., April 21 at 8 PM and Sun., April 23 at 3 PM at the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall in Baltimore.
