The Academy of St Martin in the Fields (ASMF), led by music director and Bloomington native Joshua Bell, is making its way across the pond to IU Auditorium! ASMF is one of the world’s finest chamber orchestras, renowned for fresh, brilliant interpretations of the world’s greatest orchestral music.

Their program will include:

Mozart: Le nozze di Figaro, K.492: Overture

Brahms: Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 77

Schumann: Symphony No. 2 in C major, Op. 61

Bell will perform on all pieces being played as part of the IU Auditorium program.

Since its formation in 1958, unrivalled live performances and a vast recording output—including the 1969 best-seller Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and the soundtrack to the Oscar-winning film Amadeus—have given the orchestra an enviable international reputation for its distinctive, polished, and refined sound.

Under Bell's direction, the ensemble continues to push the boundaries of player-directed performance to new heights, presenting symphonic repertoire and chamber music on a grand scale at prestigious venues around the globe.
