Joshua Bell to play with the NC Symphony in January

Masterful violinist Joshua Bell is set to play a show with the North Carolina Symphony in January. Bell will play Max Bruch’s Scottish Fantasy with the orchestra at the Meymandi Concert Hall in Raleigh on January 14.

I know what you're thinking. That's eight months away. Why should I care now. Well, you can buy pre-sale tickets right now thru June 5 at 5 pm. Go here and enter the pre-sale password VIOLIN. Tickets will run you $70, $60 or $50. The general on sale date for the show is August 17 at 9 am.

I still love the Washington Post experiment in 2007 where Bell played in a DC subway station and went almost completely ignored as he play some of the most difficult classical pieces there are. Check out the article and video here.
