The Academy of St Martin in the Fields has today announced the contract extension of Music Director Joshua Bell – until the end of the 2019/2020 season.
The 49 year old violin virtuoso has served the leadership role since 2011 – since taking over from the ensemble’s founder, Sir Neville Marriner.
“The Academy is an incredible group of musicians, and they are like family to me … our tours together are always highlights of my year,” Joshua has said.
“I’m thrilled that we’ll be continuing our relationship for another three seasons … here’s to the next chapter in our adventure together,” he has said.
