‘Bell is a superb violinist… the sooner he returns to Australia the better.’ ★★★★★ – Limelight

Returning to Australia in December 2024 with a career spanning almost four decades, GRAMMY® Award-winning violinist Joshua Bell is one of the most celebrated artists of his era. Bell has performed with virtually every major orchestra and maintains engagements as a soloist, recitalist, chamber musician, conductor, and the Music Director of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields.

Bell has been nominated for six GRAMMY® awards, was named ‘Instrumentalist of the Year’ by Musical America, deemed a ‘Young Global Leader’ by the World Economic Forum, received the Avery Fisher Prize, and was named an ‘Indiana Living Legend’ in 2000.

Internationally acclaimed pianist Peter Dugan has been hailed by the Los Angeles Times as ‘stunning’ and praised by the San Francisco Chronicle for his artistry. Celebrated for his versatility across classical, jazz, and pop genres, he has performed with renowned artists and joins Joshua Bell for his 2024 Australian tour.
