Joshua Bell enchants audiences with his breathtaking virtuosity and charismatic stage presence.

His restless curiosity, passion, and multi-faceted musical interests have developed and deepened since he was first spotted plucking tunes with rubber bands stretched around the handles of his dresser drawers at age four. Though unrecognized during a morning rush-hour performance in the DC Metro documented by the Washington Post, his concerts regularly draw rock-concert enthusiasm from audiences, despite — or perhaps because of — his down-to-earth personality.
