Joshua Bell Performs With Philadelphia Orchestra at Age Fourteen

Ann — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 16:39:26 +0000

Joshua Bell is one of the most famous violinists in the world and achieved this status at a relatively young age. He certainly achieved critical acclaim and fame at a young age and has played with some of the top musicians and orchestras in the world. He had an interesting introduction to the violin and was first given lessons when he was a small child and his mother caught him attaching rubber bands to the dresser drawer handles to pluck out the music he had heard her playing on the piano. This was inspiration enough to get the five-year-old Bell a fractional sized violin and begin his lessons. They did not try and force the love or passion on him and he remained interested in other childhood activities and also played sports during his youth.

However, after having experienced success with and approval of his early instructors his parents introduced him to Josef Gingold and were able to convince him to accept their son as a student. Gingold was a renown instructor and violinist and needed to be assured that the young Bell live a normal life and be forced into an obsessive life consuming study. After a reassurance of this from Bell’s parents the two began an extremely productive and affectionate teacher student relationship.

By the time Bell was fourteen he made an appearance at The Philadelphia Orchestra where he performed as a soloist, which is an impressive accomplishment on its own, however when taken into consideration with the fact he was fourteen years old, it is even more impressive. He has developed and extensive repertoire and his Bell’s fans and contemporaries look forward to his future performances and work. In addition, fans of The Philadelphia continue to enjoy its seasons and guests from out of town frequently included a performance as part of their stay.

Austin City Limits Music Festival and PBS Program

Ann — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 14:44:35 +0000

Austin, Texas is also the state’s capital. In addition, many people would call it the country’s musical capital. The city itself goes so far as to refer to itself as the live music capital of the world. That’s a pretty big claim and Austin has the goods to back it up. Live music is played and enjoyed throughout bars, clubs, café’s and coffee shops across the city. Many of the residents are musicians and the ones who aren’t enjoy and support the music scene. There are also festivals and ongoing events that are not only popular with the residents but attract the numerous populations of tourists that visit the city each year. The hotels Austin fill up quickly in the days before the annual Austin City Limits Music Festival, which was named after the famous PBS program.

The PBS program that the festival is named after has become one of the most popular taped concert series in the world and many musicians and bands consider a performance invitation on it one of their fundamental goals and while the Midnight Special in the 1970s indicated to many musicians that they had arrived or they had made it, a performance on Austin City Limits holds the same appeal to performers today.

The festival began in 2002 and was only two days during that inaugural year. It occurs in the early part of October or late September and since it began it has quickly elevated to the status of Lalapooza, Boonaroo and Coachella as one of the top live music festivals in the United States. It has also drawn some major names in the music industry including Tom Petty and REM. Elvis Costello, Cold Play, John Mayer, Sheryl Crow and Willie Nelson are others and are also among the list of performers that have appeared at both the festival and on the televised program. The Dave Matthews Band, Pearl Jam and Ben Harper were among the major names from the 2009 nine festival.
